What is Near Field Communication?

Near Field Communication, or NFC for short, is like a magic trick that lets your devices talk to each other just by being close together. Imagine you have two toys, and when you bring them near each other, they start sharing secrets. That’s a bit like how NFC works!

NFC is a technology that allows two devices, like your phone and a payment terminal, to exchange information when they are very close, usually within a few centimeters. You might have used NFC without even realizing it when you tap your phone to pay for something at a store. It’s fast, easy, and safe because the devices need to be really close to share information, which makes it hard for anyone else to listen in.

This technology is used for many things, like contactless payments, sharing files between phones, or even unlocking doors with a smart card. It’s super convenient because all you have to do is tap or bring the devices close together, and the magic happens!
