Une prevision qui fait froid dans le dos concernant les tags RFID, A not so optimistic prevision about people who work with barcodes

D'après cet article (cité sur le blog collectif SmartMobs.com), l'utilisation de tags RFID pour des produits supprimerait 4 millions d'emplois au Etats-unis : des personnes qui travaillent à l'aide de codes-barre.

According to this article (quoted on the SmartMobs.com collective blog), the use of tags RFID for products would remove 4 million jobs in the United States: people who work using code-bars:
"The Yankee Group said that radio frequency ID tags (RFID) in the US may eliminate up to 4 million jobs that are now held by people who manually check barcodes. The analysts say that some positions will be lost altogether, but points out that the technology will free many of these workers to perform higher-value jobs instead of the mundane tasks that RFID will replace. The researchers predict that manufacturing companies will spend USD5 billion on RFID technology over the next three years."
