With the technology changing so
frequently now-a-days, it has become very difficult to get hold on to it. Just
when you get comfortable using a new gizmo or any aspect of technology, you
come to know that a new and advanced version of the same thing has entered the
arena. But then again this doesn’t stop us from indulging in any of it. The
advancement in technology has also decreased the need of touching or holding
anything, all you need to is say something (voice command), make some gestures
(motion sensors) or just flash your card (smart cards) and the intended work is
done.
Take the case of smart cards.
Earlier we used to have office IDs with us which we needed to
flash in front of
the card reader to get access inside a building or a particular area of the
office where only authorized personnel could go. But now there has been so
advancement in this area itself. Such advanced smart card readers, such as
Omnikey Readers, have been developed by companies which read the smart card
present with you, like in the pocket of your coat or in your wallet, and
without the need to flash it or show it to the public it allows you access the
premises if you are authorized to do so. Not only for the office, such
technologies are being used in automobiles as well. There are so many
automobiles present which provide keyless entries options where the car key has
a smart card inside it and there is a sensor on the door which reads the smart
card if you are in range and allows you to enter the car. There is no
limitation when it comes to technology, it’s just your imagination.
