Beijing 2008: a Digital Olympics

In its basic form, a typical RFID system has two major components, a reader and tags, as shown in Figure 3.1. These tags are made from a tiny chip, also called an integrated circuit (IC), that is connected to an antenna that can be built into many different kinds of tags including apparel hang tags, labels, and security tags, as well as a wide variety of industrial asset tags. The tag chip contains the product's electronic product code (EPC) and other variable information so that it can be read and tracked by RFID readers anywhere(Impinj 2015).

The RFID system mainly includes three parts: reader, antenna, and RFID tag, as shown. Because of the uniqueness of the RFID tag, the reader can locate and

Nick fails to use adequate methods, but with help he will improve. This is where some interoffice training could come into play. The online gaming implementation needs to be done right away because the date to go live is in only five weeks. This presentation will demonstrate each of the processes that need to be looked at. The analyzing of each process will allow them to be broken down into more detail.

This technology was crucial for them in a place where individuals are not well documented. In America, RFID chipped licenses are used to speed up border crossings to and from Canada, replacing the need to show a passport each time.

Microchip implant is an exceptionally well thought authentication method that has the possibility of making a huge impact in securing information. The concept of microchip implant was introduced in 1945 by Leon Theremin, who was the originator of one of the first covert devices which is also known as “bugs”. This device is followed by Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology which is a small electronic device that contains a chip. This chips allows the ability to store data typically ranging up to 2,000 bytes or less. RFID is comparable to magnetic strips or bar codes because they all act as a unique identifier for a specific purpose. In order to obtain information from an RFID, you must scan the device just as how a magnetic strip or bar code would require scanning. RFID can also be described as the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields that helps in transferring data with the goal of being able to automatically recognize and monitor tags that are being attached to objects. RFID technology is currently being used by many different industries varying from identifications badges that enclose RFID tags that assist with eliminating the chances of shoplifting, to vehicles using the technology to help monitor the production process and track the vehicles across the assembly line. Other scenarios that may use the microchip implant includes animals having RFID tags placed in them for identification purposes as

The glo-bus game is an online game developed by IBM and is short for globe business simulation game. It provides a competitive environment to all the participants and company’s managers. In glo-bus, 13 groups in an industry. Each group run a camera company with the same start condition, they need to make their own decision to defeated other groups and meet the investors expectation. The camera company was divided into four main regions such as Europe-Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and North America. In every region we have to maintain certain factor such as ROE, Net profit, EPS, S/Q rating, Net profit, Revenue, Cash flow etc. The aim of this game is used what we learnt in the class and practice our manage

Some schools are using RFID tags as a security measure to confirm that all students are within the campus , during school hours.

Ranbir scrutinized the thick file of papers in front of him. It described the pilot project for automatic wagon tracking, which had recently commenced. The pilot project envisaged the use of RFID technology, already proven in North American railroads and other Railways, to tag 500 coal hopper wagons (Figure 1). Three trackside tag readers would be placed along one of the routes used for

RFID is not new innovation by any stretch of the imagination. It has been around for a considerable length of time. It was utilized at first for vicinity access control. From there on, it developed to be utilized as a part of inventory network following, toll boundary control, and notwithstanding ensuring cars(Potter, 2005).They are different5 types of tags are available.

While the Radio Frequency Identification Device has been in existence for almost 50 years, the use of this chip in human beings is an advancement of the technology. The chip has mainly been used for tracking animals and goods throughout is existence. Generally, the RFID chip consists of two main parts i.e. an antenna and integrated circuit chip. It's been used as an effective detection mechanism since the antenna can recognize the chip regardless of whether it's within its line of sight (Alam, 2011).

Senator Debra Bowen proposed a bill in Redondo Beach, California contending that the organization using the tag and its information capability must: have customer consent, detach or destroy the tag after leaving the store, and the customer be guaranteed anonymity (Anonymous 91).  It wasn’t until this planned legislation protecting citizens’ personal information existed, that privacy was defended against the RFID technology.  Initiative is in place to use RFID technology in the market.  For instance, Wal-mart projects 250 stores with active tag system by June 2005 (Dipert 54).  The San Francisco Public Library has also planned to spend $1 million on a RFID system, to associate personal identity to book checkouts (Anonymous 92).  Under these conditions, corporations or the government may have the ability to monitor anyone's personal information or activity.  In order to realize the effect of RFID tags, in addition to new laws, advocates of civil rights such as the ACLU and CASPIAN have to be

The various sports and countries competing in the Olympics have contributed to a global culture including both the countries hosting the games and the countries competing in the games. The “Olympics first began in 1896, and since then have intersected through dimensions of the economic, political, and cultural at the levels of local, national, and increasingly more global communities” (Close, 2010). Therefore, the Olympic event is important to recognize due to the widespread effect the competition has on political globalization for various countries throughout the world, and the games remain relevant due to the fact that the games still persist today. This paper will focus on the cultural aspects that the Olympic spectacle impacts in terms of how culture is portrayed and transmitted from one country to another. This paper will then take a closer look at the Beijing (China) Olympics of 2008 to demonstrate how these cultural factors are employed and contribute to create a global culture that is experienced throughout media viewing and interpersonal interactions amongst various people throughout the world.

RFID, or radio frequency identification, is the new system that is replacing the use of barcodes. RFID tags allow users to more quickly obtain information from the object that the RFID tag

How much has technology impacted the Olympics? I’d say greatly due to the performance levels of the athletes, the opportunities for the participants, coaches, officials and spectators, the ethical implications and the ongoing

RFID technology is not only used at gas stations, restaurants, and department but also at
