In the long run it is a trade off. You can have superior technology and convenience but it does come at a cost. I can see how companies with strong ethics could try to prevent something like tracking someone throughout a mall. The problem is that it is not the executives that are selling the clothes, it is young people who are usually bored and have time to abuse the system. Thanks for the comment. @lordmanilastone, I think that is one of the larger issues. In the long run it is a trade off. You can have superior technology and convenience but it does come at a cost.

I am not really a shopaholic but I am sure those who are might be skeptical about this. This is really interesting but it sounds a bit intrusive.

And your right, the other biggie is that they are going to most likely use it for theft. That's why at the end of the article I was jesting about them watching your every move after you leave the store. It brings up some privacy concerns and if they ever placed the chips inside the fiber where they couldn't be removed they would be able to check your shopping habits while you were in the same mall. But then again I'm getting too Fahrenheit 451 on you. By the way, on a side note, I loved Ray Bradbury when I was a kid. Now that I did some background checking on him he turns out to be a total kook, kind of sucks but oh well. @Connie T., it’s relativity cheap actually.. somewhere around $.05 per chip.

Will it affect the consumer financially? It would definitely be great against shoplifters, look out Winona! Do you have any idea how much this technology will cost?

I'm not so sure if they will look similar to the ones you are referring to, however. @chris, RFID chips have in fact been around for a long time and yes they have been injected in peoples skin in the past.
