RFID-Changing the way we need databases

"Young woman with a drink in her hand,
she likes to listen to rock n roll..
she moves to the music cuz it..
never gets old.

Freedom is the only thing that never gets old,
must be the only thing that never gets old.." s. o'connor

The Data Relay Race - RFID changes the Game forever.

The question is did developers see this coming?
Database development for the most part has been as straight forward
as anything else so sayeth the powers that be.

Of course the "powers that be" are seldom innovative so ok.

Database development fell under desktop or server side relevancy.
Then XML made rss possible and data could suddenly be moved around in real time.

Data could also be stored transmitted uploaded and downloaded Data could be sent from your work computer to your cell phone/smart phone to your palm. Of course RSS didn't do it but XML made it possible to not lose the shape of your data while you were moving it around for easier access. RSS just nicely capitalized on the fact that everybody liked the freedom of mobile data.

RFID means that mobile data has substance because the data on the go now is free of humans most of the time now our stuff has data and since our stuff is moving all over the world so is the data that defines the stuff.

So now that our data has grown up and has a life of its own. How do we monitor our teenage data giving it full freedom but maintaining supervisory watchfulness of any responsible data manager or owner.

Database development now means creating databases that remain fit enough to handle thousands and even million pieces of data mobile 24/7. This of course means that meta data (data about data) that is on the move must be as easily transported with no limits to the size of either the data or meta data being transported, requested, and monitored.

The clear security issue is that what if the data chip on the stuff we are keeping up with gets removed from the stuff we meant to monitor and stuck on other stuff? Ok this will mean that data will be also have to accomodate images, cameras, or some method of visually confirming that, that's the stuff. Because the data that is collected, stored, transported, and mutating is now going to be about stuff not just people.

So if database development is going to be called for active duty now that RFID is quickly getting into focus, why then has their been such an innovated lull?

RSS has still not been included in desk top database development and data collection though it is relevant to maintaining a mobile posture for all data especially that which may not be accessed from the web. The obvious genious of web based database evolutions mean not having to upload or download but does still mean that consolidation is relevant because data that is easy to access should be as easy to query in large databases. This could still mean a large amount of data to call upon at a moments notice.

So now every thing that may or may not have a soul does have data and data has a right to exist and grow.

Who out there is going to do something about it?
