Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology with a big future. In essence, it’s a simple technology that uses electromagnetic fields to track tags attached to objects. However, it’s the information stored in those tags and the applications it can be used for that are transforming everything from health care to retail. To illustrate this, we’ll look at six ways RFID is reshaping the future. Smart RFID fitting rooms for clothing stores RFID is set to revolutionise the way we try clothes on in fitting rooms.

The high street has suffered something of a retail apocalypse during the past two years, both in the UK and across the pond in the US. In Britain, department store chain BHS collapsed, the biggest high street failure since Woolworths went bust in 2008. In the States, retail giants Macy’s and Sears announced hundreds of store closures, while high street stalwarts Urban Outfitters, American Eagle and Lululemon all reported new multi-year lows. The high street crisis comes as more and more customers take their spending online. However, some companies are focusing on ‘future-proofing’ their stores with the integration of technology…
Sash windows that are over a hundred years old are so well built, that in some cases double glazing them is actually possible without causing any issue to the structure of the sash itself.

The advantage of this service to Mansion Blocks and conservation areas is game changing. They now have an option to make their leaky old Victorian properties warm and comfortable. With so many sash windows concentrated in London, there’s even council guidance to…

Show business has a long and unfortunate relationship with cultural appropriation. Its an irreversible part of Hollywood history, ingrained by such performances as John Wayne as Genghis Khan and Laurence Olivier playing Othello in blackface makeup. But we’re now in 2017. The world is globalised, cultures have intertwined and we are no longer defined by national borders, skin colour or place of worship. So surely, appropriation in the arts is something that has been left behind in the black and white films and vintage vinyls of yesteryear? Wrong. Cultural appropriation is rife, but A-Listers aren’t getting away with it…

For businesses, a .com domain has always been the holy grail of domain suffixes. Until relatively recently it was one of only a few TLD’s widely available but that is no longer the case.
