You might never lose another sock once radio frequency ID (RFID) tags are used everywhere, Google's chief internet evangelist has said.
Vint Cerf was speaking at the Cebit technology fair in Hanover after the announcement of a Europe-wide consultation study on RFID.
The study was announced at a press conference by the European Commission.
RFID is a technology that puts a small amount of computer memory into a tag readable at a distance by radio.
It promises to revolutionise the way we track items - and even people, which worries civil liberties groups.
The aim of the consultation exercise is to gauge reactions to RFID by both businesses and citizens in Europe.
