Its a common problem we go to buy something when we realize we have left our wallet at home or in the car. This problem may soon become a thing of the past, after all we rarely forget our cell phone. Under the new system your credit card number will be stored in the phone in an encrypted format.

The use of tickets and passes could also soon become a thing of the past. You will never have to worry about leaving your tickets behind as long as you have your cell phone. Getting through the turnstile will be as simple as swiping your phone. This kind of technology is expected to be soon used for a variety of purposes.
