It feels as if most people believe that the use of "offline radio" is about to die and that traditional radio that actually uses radiowaves are beginning to get more and more useless (except when it comes to emergency-messages).
But radiowaves will live on as RFID! :P
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rfid )
I'm aware of that RFID doesn't have that very much to do with the way we are looking at the radio for this course, but:
I find it funny that we on one hand are trying to redefine what radio is (by calling podcasts and spotify radio). At the same time "the radio" has found another possible use but in the form of RFID!
So I guess RFID could be "radio" if radio was redefined as (part of) the electromagnetic spectrum. That topic has been mentioned/raised but did not attract enough interest for a seminar group to form around the topic.
