“…The RFID labels produce waves which are grasped by water and some liquids, and the waves are correspondingly mirrored by metals, which can result in inaccurate readings [45]. In addition, other contractors can decline to obey the strict operation schedule due to the high cost connected to evolving it.…”

Sustainability principles need to be applied at all the stages of the decision-making process concerning the building of urban housing to realize maximum benefits without compromising the project’s function. This paper aims to investigate the applicability of radio frequency identification (RFID) and identify the barriers that impede its successful adoption in building projects to achieve sustainability in building. The literature was reviewed, and data were derived by complementing the quantitative technique. A questionnaire was employed to gather data from 107 stakeholders in the building industry in Nigeria. The data were scrutinized using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique. The partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was also applied to create a model for embracing RFID tools for sustainable building. The results of EFA revealed that the RFID barriers could be classified into significant constructs: infrastructure, immaturity, privacy, and security. The PLS-SEM model revealed that infrastructure was the most significant barrier to RFID implementation in the building industry. Thus, this study’s findings could aid decision makers in facilitating sustainability approaches in buildings projects through RFID implementation. These results would further lay the basis for objectively measuring and valuing the diverse barriers impacting RFID implementation.

“…There are also several examples of published research speculating about the future of insertable devices. Ramesh (1997) predicted that there would soon be widespread mandatory microchip implants, with Klitou (2014) echoing this. Ip et al (2008 , p. 11) predicted that active insertables would be used “before too long” while Stephan et al (2012 , p. 1,767) claimed “it is not unlikely that biochips will be implanted in people at birth in the not-too-distant future.” While it is difficult to comment on this conjecture, as there may be tracking microchips in the far future, it would not be unfair to claim that researchers looking at insertables draw conclusions that exceed what the data supports.…”

In this article, we show that voluntarily inserting devices inside the body is contested and seek to understand why. This article discusses insertables as a source of contestation. To describe and understand the social acceptability, reactions toward, and rhetoric surrounding insertable devices, we examine (i) the technical capabilities of insertable devices (the technical context), (ii) human reactions toward insertables (the social context), and (iii) the regulatory environment. The paper offers explanations to the misperceptions about insertables.

“…In March 2006, Ars Technica reported buffer overflow bug that may potentially infect the airport terminal RFID databases and passport databases [80]. Newitz and Westhues in a conference in New York city were reported to clone RFID signal from a implanted one [81]. RFID triggered a huge press debate in Berlin during Chaos Communication Congress (organized by Chaos Computer Club) when the topics such as e-passports, Mifare cryptography poped up, but was later suppressed by a report which briefed the successful realtime mass application of RFID in FIFA world cup 2006.…”

<p>The next big revolution after internet in the global information industry is Internet of Things. RFID technology which is short for Radio Frequency IDentification, plays a crucial role in IoT proliferation. The unique characteristic of RFID as an identification sensor (connecting non-computing things to internet) is the major driving force behind the huge popularity of IoT. While there has been considerable progress in adopting RFID, a strong understanding of the fundamentals required for innovation is missing. To draw advantage from the wide-spread acceptance of RFID technology, it will become important to have a complete review of all its components. This article analyses the literature from World War II to the present and is, as far as our knowledge goes the first survey focusing on RFID system for enabling IoT. Other surveys do exist that, rather than analyzing the technology being designed to enable IoT with sensing and actuating devices focus on security and privacy issues, or on the other end discuss the applications of RFID systems. In this survey, we make an exhaustive review of RFID technology working towards connecting all the physical devices to the internet. We commence the discussion with a historical perspective, evolution, RFID frequencies and subsequently, we make an in-depth survey of underlying components encompassing tags, readers and middleware. For alleviating the increased perception of threats, we make a detailed review of security and privacy issues and present the preliminary outcomes of extensive research carried to mitigate them. Short tutorial descriptions are provided as and when the demand arose. Compared to other survey papers in this field, our objective is to provide a more thorough summary of RFID fundamentals to enable researchers and application developers to get upto speed quickly on how the different components fit together to deliver desired functionalities in IoT without having to go through complex details of RFID systems (RFCs and standard specifications). Finally, we highlight lessons learned in making RFID more adaptive to IoT solutions and conclude with research challenges yet to be addressed in order to fully exploit the potential offered by connected and cognitive things.</p>
