Near Field Communication NFC

shared by Leo T Garcia on 25 Mar 13 - No Cached

    Here is a primer on Near Field Communications (NFC) which is a set of standards for smartphones that establishes radio communication between similar devices which are in close proximity. It is a subset for RFID (radio-frequency identification) and is being integrated into our daily lives as in most technology. The low-cost NFC tags practical uses are limited only by imagination, the challenge will be is to mitigate the cybersecurity risks it poses.

    I have to say this was a very interesting video to watch, and I see now how these things work and what we can do with them. I do like the fact that they have a shorter range than Bluetooth as well as less power consumption. I would still be worried about losing information when say on a crowded train or bus. People could brush up against your phone and you may not realize it. thanks for sharing. Lee

    This video gives an example of technologies of the future and a different way to pose questions for how technology can improve daily life but also where technology can take us.

    I really like the way they talked about complete integration in the video, as that definitely seems to be the direction that everything is going. Forget about dedicated devices, everything from your couch to your car, to your refrigerator will have intense computing power, and will be able to communicate with you and everything else around you to better your life. The only downfall I see of this is it seems like people would forget how to not use technology, and would be completely helpless if it was lost.

    Complete integration is really important. It is a focus of many technological advancements. This is due to the fact that people want technology that makes life as whole easier not just individual tasks. I am eager to see what technologies the future will actually hold!

    Interesting assessments by the individuals in that provided video Percy. I personally keyed into the statement that technology will operate in a more conversational (social) manner that's similar to how humans interact. The further technological-based assessments are interesting especially with regard to gene mapping and what diseases somebody may face within their lifetime.

    Here's a cool new wearable tech gadget called the FitBit Flex. Designed for personal fitness tracking. It's a wristband that's tracks your steps and monitors sleep. You can sync your daily stats with an Android or iOS app. There are a lot of rumors about Apple's development of an iWatch, so more wrist gadgets could be released soon.

    My wife loves her fitbit zip. This type of tracking technology is very cool, but can leave some consumers wondering what else is being tracked, recorded and uploaded when synching it with its application.

    Fitbit Flex Personal Tracker is interesting, but needs to be easier to put on and change the sensor. I also would like to have a battery that lasted longer than five to six days. It would be nice to know how the other trackers' batteries held up. I did like the silent alarm feature.

    The "Alerts And Tips" page of this site provides excellent up to date alerts. (http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas). Subheadings include: Current Activity, Alerts, Bulletins, and Tips. The Bulletins page provides weekly vulnerability summaries. It's worth a look for anyone who hasn't seen this already.
