I entirely understand, to each their own and all, I just wanted to provide my position on it all.
My apologies, Ed. NFC is short for Near-Field Communications. It uses programmable chips inside smartphones or even payment cards that can provide contactless payment without using cash or inserting a payment card into a slot. On phones, card data can be saved to allow you to use your phone as a wallet. A lot of debit and credit cards these days have integrated NFC chips that can be energized in close proximity (literally either by tapping against the Point of Sale system's card reader) to read the card data.
And thanks! The taglines are from here on TQW, Meat's got a massive list of 'em you can pick from before you post.
