Smarter Clothing Labels

RFID is the name of the game and pretty soon we'll see it reach mainstream in some very unexpected applications. One in particular is the ClothTAG. Meant to replace current garment care labels, the ClothTAG uses RFID technology to tell your washer and dryer what settings to use. Of course, that requires you to have RFID enabled appliances. If you don't, no worries. The RFID circuitry cleverly mimics icons found in current garment care labels so you'll still know how best to wash your undies the old fashioned way.

RFID technology gives me the creeps hardcore. I know I should theoretically be all for things that make washing my clothing easier, but my strongest reaction is still AUGH IT'S WATCHING MY EVERY MOVE

Or, more specifically, watching my clothing . . . never mind.

Error! These garments cannot be washed together!
