Anyone heard of this technology ? Apparently you wont even need a wallet - you will just be able to pay for everything from your one secure device - e.g. like sending a text to the till to pay for an item;

Quote

Services from NTT DoCoMo have evolved from voice calls to data communication and now offer a linkage with brick&mortar services. Voice communication via a simple phone call was initially the only option. Then text message communication and mobile Internet browsing became popular. Now face-to-face communication via videophone lets users enjoy visual communication. In the future, as convergence between existing services (paper/cash-based, etc) and mobile IT technologies continue to expand, a truly ubiquitous world where communication is possible anytime, anywhere, and with anyone will be realized with a mobile phone.

It's not stupid - it's just something you don't really take an interest in to know the 'ins and outs' and the 'hows and whys'.

 

Now shut up

[Dani Babyboo]

lol makes me think of a fiml where they skined a guys hand to put skin over his for the finger prints to get in some security place

 

cant remeber the film name tho

[Miss Minx]

[Dani Babyboo]

Dani think about old movies & how they had modern technology in them & what at the time seemed far fetched & now we use half the stuff they made up everyday & take for granted etc

[Dani Babyboo]
