Technology is evolving every day. What you deem indispensable today might not be available tomorrow.

If you have a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and you want to send a contact to a friend who also has a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, did you know you can send contacts through NFC?

This is a short-range wireless connectivity standard that uses magnetic field induction that allows two devices to communicate when they touch each other, or at the least, brought within a few centimeters of each other.
