Do you have a pet? Is it chipped? We’ll talk about that technology in a few weeks, but the short version is it uses something called a Radio Frequency Identifier, or RFID. It’s a tiny chip that is inserted between the animal’s shoulders and contains all of its identifying information.
You’ve seen other types of RFID tags before; one of the common places they used to be is inside DVD cases and the tag would be a sticker that looked almost like a small CPU, as in the image below.
