This would be funny if it was not so close to the possble future:

It's already started. Our local Domino's uses caller ID when we call,
asks us if we want delivery and already has our address on file, and I
wouldn't be surprised if the "we've got this on special today, sir, are
you interested?" comes from a database of our past purchases.

The rest, not yet, thank God.

That web page been around for a while already.

RFID tags can be woven into your clothing and such without your ever being
aware of it. Some day you'll walk into and be scanned in a store and all the
clerks would know your clothes sizes and name from "strings" in your attire
and in an incredibly short time they will be able to access all your
preferences and buying habits online much like internet cookies do now.

It's maaaaagic.

Or...

How does an RFID system work?

An RFID system consists of a tag, which is made up of a microchip with
an antenna, and an interrogator or reader with an antenna. The reader
sends out electromagnetic waves. The tag antenna is tuned to receive
these waves. A passive RFID tag draws power from field created by the
reader and uses it to power the microchip's circuits. The chip then
modulates the waves that the tag sends back to the reader and the
reader converts the new waves into digital data.

And...

RFID tags can be either active or passive.

Passive RFID tags have no internal power supply. The minute electrical
current induced in the antenna by the incoming radio frequency signal
provides just enough power for the tag to transmit a response.

How are they powered?

RFID tags can be "passive" tags, in that they are not powered and are
read by passive tag readers.

You see things like this in the movies lately. In 'Minority Report' as
Tom Cruise walks into the futuristic Gap store talking ads address him
by name, suggesting that he might like this shirt to match those pants
he bought last week or they have a new line of whatever his favorites
are on sale. Might not be too far off in the future as one may think it
is ... finding a salesperson to help you is nonexistant in many stores
as it is.
