Near Field Communication (NFC)
Near Field Communication is a standard that allows devices
such as smartphones to connect wirelessly simply by touching
them together or bringing them into a close proximity, for
example, exchange files by just touching two smartphones
together.
Explanation and of how it works
NFC is a technology built upon radio-frequency identification,
or RFID, which allows a gadget to send radio waves to another
gadget or to another RFID-enable tag and to trigger a certain
action.
Advantages
NFC offers power efficiently which is important in mobile
devices.
NFC offers a certain amount of security, as a hacker
would need to be closed to the target to access NFC data
exchange.
NFC can be used to change settings automatically on
devices such as smartphones.
Disadvantages
Not all devices support NFC.
Devices need to be very close to each other to use NFC.
