RFID Chairs

My friend Brian sent me this article about RFID chairs that follow a patron around the library in case they need to sit down. I guess this would be good for the elderly and handicapped, but how fast is it? Will it stop if someone walks in front of it? How lazy are we really getting?

It seems like more hassle than its worth. A commenter on the article talked about traffic jams - imagine the logistical nightmares of having stacks wide enough to accommodate those things!

Seems like an accident waiting to happen to me. *Shrug*

I could see that being a problem too.
