How Shopping Is Becoming Essential Activity?
ABSTRACT
In our daily lives , shopping is becoming essential activity . because of a lot of options and creative promotion ,it becomes challenging and time consuming especially during holidays and season’s sales . based on The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) on a typical day, 32 million American adults shop at a grocery store where 17 percent of all women go grocery shopping, compared with only 10 percent of men and Saturday is the busiest shopping day of the week, averaging 41 million shoppers. The next busiest days are Friday and Sunday. The average time spent grocery shopping – not including time spent getting to and from the store – is 41 minutes. Women spend a bit more time in the store than do men, and younger adults and those with …show more content…
Back then shopping was not something essential or life-style , it was one stop where you can find what you need. Nowadays our life style had changed and supermarkets become bigger and bigger where you have many options shopping might have been a time-consuming task, with several small shops to visit before it was completed. With the technology development and Innovation in communication and information have caused revolution in all areas of human understanding where the old methods were not satisfying enough and we should look for more modern ways.

1.1 RFID
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by electromagnetic induction from magnetic fields produced near the reader. Some types collect energy from the interrogating radio waves and act as a passive transponder. Other types have a local power source such as a battery and may operate at hundreds of meters from the reader.
RFID systems can be classified by the type of tag and reader. A Passive Reader Active Tag (PRAT) system has a passive reader which only receives radio signals from active tags (battery operated, transmit only). The reception range of a PRAT system reader can be adjusted from 1–2,000 feet (0–600 m), allowing flexibility in applications such as asset protection and supervision.
An Active Reader Passive Tag (ARPT) system has an active reader, which transmits interrogator signals and receives authentication replies from passive tags. An Active Reader Active Tag (ARAT) system uses active tags awoken with an interrogator signal from the active reader. A variation of this system could also use a Battery-Assisted Passive (BAP) tag, which acts like a passive tag but has a small battery to power the tag's return reporting
