Abstract
The usage of RFID technology is rapidly increasing. The RFID system provides distinct advantages over the traditional barcode system. The RFID technology is being used in many areas like toll collection, shopping and retail, agriculture, transportation, industries, academics etc. There are some limitations also with the RFID technology including the privacy issues. This paper describes some of the RFID uses which result in ease of life.
Highlights
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects from a short distance of several inches to hundreds of feet
A code is stored in the RFID tag and this tag is attached to a physical object

Summary
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects from a short distance of several inches to hundreds of feet. RFID, on the other hand can read data from tag without line of sight. RFID is dissimilar in the ways that tag can be embedded and hidden, no line-of-sight required, can be reprogrammed on-the-fly, can be read through variety of material like wood, plastic, cardboard etc. The RFID technology has the advantages of high reading speed, working even in presence of a barrier, longer read range, fast scanning, multiple data carrying capability, and flexibility etc. Due to these benefits, the RFID system is gaining attention in many areas like transportation, agriculture, manufacturing industries, shopping, academics etc. Some of the applications of RFID technology resulting in ease of life are described below
