Google Wallet

In this day in age, what doesn't our smart phone do? It already fetches email, makes telephone calls, stores contacts, updates our social networks, we can buy plane tickets, access our bank accounts, and watch movies on it. If you can replace your email device, personal music player, and landline with a smartphone why can't you replace your wallet? The brilliant minds at Google have come up with a solution. Introducing Google Wallet. Google Wallet stores your bank card information and allows you to use bank cards, store cards, and coupons all within your device. When you pay at a register, using the NFC (near-Field-Communication) technology, you just tap your phone on the reader. The data is instantly sent and you automatically pay whatever it is you buy. Google Wallet also has the neat feature of being combined with Google shopper and offers, allowing you to redeem coupons at the register with the same transaction. You collect the Coupons from Google Shopper, and when you go to pay the coupons are redeemed in the transaction. You no longer have to maintain hold on physical coupons and physical cards. Everything can now be stored on the Google Wallet app. It is also password protected with a secure pin, so even if the phone is stolen thieves won't have access to your information, unlike a wallet.
