Pros/Cons of NFC technology

 





My cell phone and the new iphone5/ipad2 has NFC capabilities installed, there's many pros and cons with this technology, included in the video above shows a major con. What NFC allows you to do basically is use your cell phone as a credit card, there's even new credit cards with NFC capabilities, for faster payments at gas pumps, restaurants, etc etc. Of course you have the option of turning this feature off, just be wary if a random person approaches and gets to close to you & definitely be careful when in large crowds. The credit cards that were being read in the video had NFC technology.
