The problem with RFID technology is that while it works well at close range with limited sensors, in a real world environment with noise, reliability goes down significantly. Companies like WalMart are already spending millions on research on RFID technology. We're still not at a stage when sheep or bees are equiped with unique rfid tags. Imagine having the power to ssh into a bee and mess with it's brain! Watch out for the new species of "killer bees"...
Dude, it has already started. There are already a few high-tech startups like Kritikal Solutions that have sprung out of top Indian schools like the IITs. And mind you, these are not just any outsourcing companies doing some java programming. These are companies developing cutting edge technology. So what you say might soon become a reality!
