Touch that can change a company


Well NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is supposed to be the credit card buster of the future.

You do not need to insert your credit card and enter credentials etc. You start of tansaction without all these preliminaries). Besides this kind of transaction NFC can provide a whole lot of new experience.

NFC is the future face of how we will be communicating with the external world be it health services, entertainment, finance, Banking etc. Perhaps you should update your knowledge base on NFC by visiting their site here, http://www.nfc-forum.org/aboutus/
