The NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short range communication technology that allows the exchange of information between two devices. There are several services that aim to use this technology to facilitate day to day tasks, like payments, check in, and others, but none of them has the popularity that was expected for this technology. One interesting idea that has not been completely explored is the use of this technology in identification devices. In particular, Moo (an online printing service company) has decided to break into the contact management area.

In search of a news article relevant to this week's lecture, I came cross one that provides some intelligence on how to identifying birds (Article: Identifying Birds by Flying Style). For anyone who might have an interest in knowing the name of birds that he sees, he probably will try to identify them by their colours, shapes, looks. This new way that I learned from reading this article is different. It's identifying birds by their flying styles.
