Technology will allow homes in the future to be "smart." Appliances will communicate with each other-and with you. Your stove, for instance, will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest recipes based on food items you already have. The technology is possible because of tiny information-storing devices called RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips. People already use them to keep track of pets and farm animals. Future RFID chips will store information about all the items in your cabinets. For example, they will record the date that you bought each item. Other devices will "read" this information using radio waves. When you need more food, your cabinets will tell you to buy it.
