Beyond laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart watches, smart bands, earphones, and headphones, all kinds of new technology keep emerging to make our daily lives more convenient and advanced. NFC tags are no exception — it wouldn’t be wrong to call them a lifestyle accessory that has now entered our everyday lives.
To explain simply, NFC stands for Near-Field Communication, a short-range communication technology. It’s a wireless sharing system similar to Bluetooth, which people have long used to share contact information. It uses radio waves to help securely share information between two devices. Because it’s short-range, it can’t connect two devices that are far apart — the NFC tag and the device need to be held close together to work.

Inside an NFC tag is a tiny microchip that stores memory, along with an NFC antenna that sends radio-wave signals to a smartphone. Since it works without a battery, it never needs to be charged.
To use it, you first need to check whether your phone supports NFC — a list of NFC-supported phones is shown in the image above. Once you’ve confirmed your phone supports NFC, the device you’re using will also need to have an app installed.
evotag is one such NFC tag, and it’s a product created collectively by young tech talent from Myanmar. evotag’s NFC tag can be used to share your social media and business profiles, as well as your contact information, phone number, and website links. It can also be used to exchange information such as menus, flyers, and invitations. Since NFC tags aren’t limited to business use and are also popular in other countries for everyday use, it wouldn’t be wrong to call them a lifestyle accessory on the rise.
