    Nice find and I'm glad you posted this. On the topic of mobile malware, the report states that more smartphones were purchased in 2012 than PC's, and the Internet was accessed more on smartphones than any other device. The article mentions this, and I agree that the mobile malware threat will increase as the android and iOS ecosystems stretch wider and wider. It was also interesting to read about cloud storage, and how authorization will be one of it's major vulnerabilities as it becomes more widely used for business.

    Great article. Thing like this are very interesting to me. The section on Cloud Computing was by far my favorite. This type of technology is emerging and at the same time it has turned into a challenge for attackers to try to break. Security is going to be very vital for this service to work and more likely will be the subject of any topic related to cloud technology. Cloud service providers need to make a stronger statement and provide some type of assurance to the customer. Thanks!

    I had actually read this article before, but it was good to read it again. While they are many elements that are concerning I find the "filter bubbles" troubling. A user has the right to know that their search results have been filtered. You think you're conducting an open search, only to read this and find out your results may be limited.

Near Field Communication NFC

    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.

    Here is another video presentation on NFC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RBbuGwC7Eg

    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

    For decades, the transistor has been the building block of electronic devices, from computers to smartphones. It has seen little change, but a team of researchers at IBM has given the transistor a major makeover, and it may enable the company to build computers that function more like the way the human brain works.

    Michael & Ben, Did you know that iPhone 5 passed on Near-Field Communication Data Sharing while Samsung, Nokia and HTC didn't ?

    Hi Sam, I had noticed that the iPhone 5 wasn't using NFC. I didn't research it further though, as I honestly don't care for Apple products (way overpriced imho). There are numerous reasons Apple may not want to use NFC, which could be anything from them having a competing technology and not wanting it to prosper to them simply not seeing the value the technology in its current implementation (it is still in its infancy in some respects). I found a site which was able to list numerous reasons NFC is lagging behind: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57441842-94/is-nfc-killing-google-wallet/ ~Mike

    Now this is scary and yet so amazing. The fact that they are already predicting that typing a password into a device is something that is going to be in the past, is unreal. A device is going to recognize your face and allow you to have access to it. The scary part is the phone aspect in how the devices will pick up your phone conversation and automatically send a calendar invite to your device. New technologies are definitely amazing but still, there is little to no talk on how they are going to secure the environments that they are creating.

    Very interesting article. Basically, all human existence will be completely gone by 2020. I can't believe these technologies even exist and are currently in the prototype stage. You never know, this technology can take over sooner that what this article expect. The most interesting technology to me the use of sensors. If things come out to be in full effect, with the use of these sensors can provide very accurate data and help avoid the use of any fraudulent it identity threats. Thanks!

    I read this article and loved it. After reading it a while back I became very interested in Gesture Control. This is the emerging technology that I chose for this class. I know that this article talks about the use of this technology in the office but we have already seen it in Smartphones (the new Galaxy) who knows where it will pop up next!
