  Paris, Jan. ll--An armored car robbery last night ended in a wild gun battle that left two men dead and a hostage(人质)seriously wounded.

  The drama began when an armored car carrying the contents of safe deposit boxes to a bank was struck by a large truck, police said.

  The bank guards were helpless when the robbers jumped out of the truck and tied them up. The thieves used heavy tools and explosives to break open the armored car.

  A passing police car turned to investigate the accident as the men were removing the contents of the armored car. Police said the three robbers fled on foot across the nearby highway.

  Stopping a private car driven by a teenaged girl, the three headed for central Paris with the police car in hot pursuit.

  A plainclothes policeman saw the car as it drove through the street of the Latin Quarter. The policeman tried to stop the car, but the thieves started shooting at him, a witness said.

  The girl hostage tried to slip away. Just as she was crawling away from the car, she was hit by a bullet. Police said she was out of danger at Central Hospital.

  The gunmen gave up the car and got into a shop, pouring fire on more than 50 policemen that surrounded the building. After a wild gun battle, police broke into the room. They only found two of the gunmen both seriously wounded. The third thief was believed to have escaped with over $ 1.3 million in cash and jewels.

  lmagine you’re at a party full of strangers.You’re nervous.Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag(标签).The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever.Making new friends becomes simple.

  This hasn’t quite happened in real life.But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.

  An RFID tag with a tiny ehip can be fixed in a produet, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin.Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it.The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device(装置), that sends out energy(for example, radio waves)that starts up the tag immediately.

  Such a tag carries information speeific to that object, and the data can be updated.Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport.Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records.At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP(very important person)section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.

  Take a step back:10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing.One example always seemed to surfact: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk.The comcept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.

  RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon.“The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly, ”predicts Dr.J.Reich.Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology.It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say.We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it.And how many beers.Accompanied by how many biscuits.

  When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication.Not for pop music.Who knows how RFID and related technologres will be used in the future.Here’s a wild guess:Not for buying milk.
