Near Field Communications (NFC) isn't all about payments these days. With Ice Cream Sandwich, we have the ability to transfer what game you're playing to a friend's phone, but now we can add Facebook friends while on the go.

The theory is when two people meet, they no longer share phone numbers or emails. They simply share names to add each other on Facebook. With Add Friend (Facebook) you can add people you meet to your Facebook account right away, even if you don't have a data connection. Problem is they have to have NFC on their phone.

It's as simple as 3 easy steps:

You both open « ADD FRIEND »
Touch the 2 mobiles back-to-back => You arrive on his/her Facebook profile
Tap “Add”

This one might be a little before its time with most phones not having NFC, but it seems cool nonetheless.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
