1. A system, comprising:

  • a radio frequency (RF) tag configured to communicate data stored in a memory of the RF tag to a networked computing device through a wired connection or to an RF interrogator device through a wireless connection, the RF tag comprising (i) an RF and analog block for receiving an RF signal from and transmitting an RF signal to the RF interrogator device, (ii) a data processing and controller block for digital information processing, (iii) a memory store, and (iv) a communication facility, wherein the RF tag is at least in part powered by an external RF signal received by the RF and analog block; and

    a sensor communicatively coupled to the communication facility,wherein the RF tag is adapted to enable the networked computing device to access the memory store through a communication bus connected between the communication facility and the networked computing device when the external RF signal provides power to the RF tag, wherein the network computing device is communicatively connected to a network,wherein the communication facility transfers data collected from the sensor by the RF tag to the networked computing device.
