Introduction:
===My topic is about NFC mobile payments that people can now do while in a line at the store about to purchase what they picked out. For those who don’t know NFC stands for near-field communication, where two devices share bits of information and that technology is in the new smartphones and credit card swipes at the stores. === ===''' Current Use: '''=== ===The current use of this new technology advance is to eliminate the process of pulling out your wallet and trying to search for the right card to pay for your items. Instead now all a person has to do is get their phone and hold it near the machine. This way is suppose to be more efficient and beneficial to consumers.=== ===''' Security Aspects: '''=== ===One of the biggest reasons why developers wanted to do NFC mobile payments is because of the security factor. The most important part is the transaction, which is secure through the chip where it is tamper proof and is protected by a special unique signature in most cases is the finger print. This feature is safe because it is hardened against attacks on the phone.=== ===''' Ethical and Social Implications: '''=== ===Most people would argue that you can probably do the same thing with Bluetooth, but using the capability of NFC it requires less power than Bluetooth. Then a person wouldn’t also have to pair their phone with the other devices. On a social aspect it would eliminate time in a checkout line having to do a signature or waiting for change.===

Future Use:
===Future uses for NFC would be limitless; it doesn’t have to be just for mobile payments, that’s just the beginning. If developers expand the range of NFC on phones soon enough as long as something technical has a NFC tag we could broadcast our phones onto a screen like Tony Stark did in Iron Man. ===
