A crash course in changing the world.
I chose the NFC (Near Field Communication) technology as a creative solution for the future. This is not really an "experiment" anymore, since it already is an international standard for contactless exchange of data, e.g. the payment process. However, it is not yet that popular and widely spread, why I think this technology will have its impact in the near future first.
NFC can be used for cashless payment (with your smartphone, for example), paperless tickets, online streamings or downloads or access control (among others). There are already some smartphones on the market which support the NFC technology (picture: Nokia N9).
Nevertheless, the majority of the smartphone manufacturers has not implemented it so far. In Germany, companies like the Sparkasse or Deutsche Bahn already provide services which allow the use of the NFC technology. One of the biggest acceptance obstacles is the point of data security, probably. People are sceptical towards new technologies like this, it doesn't matter if justifiably or not. So, it probably will take some time to convince the people to use NFC technology and profit from its advantages (similar to the introduction of the EC/Maestro card).
All in all, I think NFC can influence our life and make some things, like paying, easier and more spontaneous as you aren't dependent anymore on having cash with you or finding an ATM.
