NFC is one of those things that will probably be in mainstream use before we know it, even though the average person may not have even heard of it yet. NFC stands for Near Field Communication, and is a set of standards for smart phones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by bringing them into close proximity (no more than a few centimetres). Such communication allows for data exchange, contactless transactions, and simplified setup of more complicated connections such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
