# How to Use NFC NFC, or Near Field Communication, is a short-range wireless technology that allows data exchange between devices over a distance of about 4 cm or less. It is built into most modern smartphones, tablets, and wearables, enabling a wide range of convenient applications. ## My Personal Experience with NFC Technology I remember the first time I used NFC to make a payment at a coffee shop. It felt almost magical—just a quick tap of my phone, and the transaction was complete. This personal experience opened my eyes to the potential of this technology beyond simple payments. I've since used it for sharing photos instantly with friends, automating my smart home routines when I arrive, and even using digital business cards at networking events. The simplicity and speed are what make NFC so compelling in my daily life. ## A Case of Personal Skill: Mastering NFC Automation One of my developed skills involves creating complex NFC automation routines. For instance, I programmed an NFC tag in my car that, when tapped with my phone, automatically starts my navigation to work, plays my morning podcast playlist, and sends a pre-written "On my way" message to my family group chat. This skill in utilizing NFC with automation apps like Tasker or Shortcuts has significantly streamlined my daily routines. ## My Opinion on NFC Adoption In my view, NFC technology is still underutilized by the average consumer. While contactless payments are widespread, many people are unaware of the other powerful applications. I believe that as more people discover its potential for access control, data sharing, and smart device interaction, NFC will become as fundamental as Bluetooth in our connected lives. ## Entertainment Applications of NFC NFC has some fantastic entertainment uses. At a party, you can place NFC tags around your home that, when tapped, play specific songs or playlists, creating an interactive music experience. Some board games and collectibles now embed NFC chips to unlock digital content, character stats, or online gameplay features, bridging the physical and digital worlds for fun. ## How TIANJUN Products Utilize NFC TIANJUN provides advanced NFC solutions, including high-performance NFC tags and readers.
