The modern smartphone has evolved rapidly to become the mobile 'hub' from which users of all ages can run their busy work, social, leisure and family lives quickly and easily.
Near Field Communication, or NFC, is relatively new on mobile phones - from around 2011 .You'll have already seen NFC Tags in everyday use even though you may not have know what they are - NFC Tags are in the London Oyster card or in newer types of passport. NFC Tags can link to anything a QR code can, such as mobile web pages, map points, text pages where no internet connection is required, an email address, audio feed, YouTube video or social media platform. NFC Tag scanning also works on almost all newer Android, Blackberry, Windows 8 and Nokia phones.
