We mostly use the cloud to store files. But occa­sion­ally ya need an exter­nal mem­ory device. The reuse of film can­is­ters just seems right. We’re so use to car­ry­ing them in a pocket or bag. They feel famil­iar and friendly. We found them at pho­to­jojo along with some other fun items for our wish list. Like Cam­era Len’s Bracelets.

What if every object could tell its own story? Haven’t you wished that you could just google any­thing? Well if you use RFID you can get infor­ma­tion from any object that has an elec­tronic tag. Each object in a way is a smart object.

If you have a reader attached to a device like a smart device, in this case an iPhone. You can come in prox­im­ity of the object and tell you the object’s story. It’s pretty inter­est­ing tech­nol­ogy that can be used say for tour­ing muse­ums. You step up to a paint­ing or sculp­ture and put your iphone next to the label. It rec­og­nizes the paint­ing and allows you to see con­tent about the work. Add links to sources on the net and an expan­tion of infor­ma­tion based on your interests.

This is a nifty video show­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ties of using RFID. If you want to know more Check out this post: http://www.nearfield.org/2009/04/iphone-rfid-nfc
