In those days the Office of Personnel
announced the distribution of all employees of the company's new badge.
beautiful, innovative, color photos with blue collar MEDIASET.
Too bad you have forgotten to explain (perhaps in the view
appeared on the intranet in
distribution thereof) as does the new badge.
With corporate communication of 28 May 2003
communicated to all colleagues and co-workers that: "In order to improve the quality
system access control for employees,
Mediaset, has decided to introduce a new badge to replace the one currently in use
, which maintains the current functionality
but it is already prepared for future use with a reading
distance (proximity badge). "
Did you know that the new badge has
inside a microchip that uses RFID technology is a system of
radio frequency identification (RFID = Radio Frequency Identification
) consists of a chip with an antenna, called TAG
or transponder, and a radio frequency reader device that receives and decodes information
contained therein. The RFID chip
is hit by a magnetic field powerful enough
(including via satellite) to power the chip.
In short, RFID tags are tiny chips embedded in your budget
transmit radio data to special readers placed
in new equipment for the marking of a
time of entry or exit from, or collect the steps with revenue
detectors.
These chips do not have batteries and are commonly
called "passive" because they take energy to
transmit information by radio waves from the reader.
on the market can be used to catalog, identify, label to
away everything: goods and human beings. Information you read
are subsequently transmitted over the network and processed.
can become, through antennas, the real controllers of
people.
There is a possibility in the future, use the chips to control the people in
probation or house arrest.
An example is the news of the Attorney General of Mexico that
plant a chip in his body, which acts as a badge, as
deterrent to abduction in the hope that the forces of order
can find it by following the track of the chip .
or the beginning of a trendy nightclub in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe
Baja Beach Club, which promoted the inclusion of a radio frequency chips under the skin
size of a grain of rice.
Every customer, bringing the body part
could charge the cost of drinks, open doors, go to the wardrobe without
do queues.
Large supermarket chains are preparing to replace every
traditional product bar codes with "smart labels"
RFID, similar to the microchips. Each box of pasta, coffee,
bottle, package will have its own smart label.
who manages the store will know in detail the movements
of each customer in the store, make a note in that sequence chooses
its purchases, if it moves fast and
decided what he wants. Follow-up to the smallest detail of a person's movements
.
So even with equipment or the ability of powerful antennas
monitor the employee on a discrete business area. But if we see the potential of the chip
read in some magazines that
a discrete technology could "stimulate" the chip outside the company until
to their homes.
One of the concerns stated by the Guarantor of personal data.
the Privacy Stefano Rodota
condemned in no uncertain terms the use of chips, "he said in relation to RFID," the integrity
of the body is violated, the injured dignity. The plant would be considered unlawful
even if the person concerned has given his consent
. "The Guarantor
also stressed the consequences of the use of these devices on inanimate objects such as products sold in stores in
." If the smart tags (RFID) are not
disabled when the product passes into the hands
buyer becomes a real risk of a generalized
surveillance of people and behavior. "Two important factors: the control of persons and
modification of individual behaviors
.
The company said the last meeting with the representatives
union to proceed in this technology and the collection of
employee or other person was 7 cm and 70 cm for open doors for
the opening of gates or barriers to access in company with
car.
If at first the intention was to use the new badge for stamping
now will only serve to gain access to confidential and
other departments.
The data can be stored.
The prospect of being totally controlled
inside and outside the company is serious. The new badge
company opened a few thoughts.
I hope that that reported here can be served to increase
our knowledge about this innovative tool
who wanted to "present."
In the meantime, while waiting for clarification on any
by the company, we always try to wrap the
our portfolio in the metallic film!
John in a society in which the assumed
transactions took place with a numeric code! Other
that Orwell ... for those who think the Bible and 'incredibly
later. Who hath ears to hear ...
