The greatness of this mobile payment lies mainly in the security it offers. Rather than carrying a bunch load of plastics
With this security, it ends the limits on payment speeds. A click here and a tap there, a smart phone just paid all your bills that is how easy Google wants the payment system to be for you.
As seen, wireless payment has its foundations in security and speed. The emerging developments in the contactless payments have their focus points in both these elements
Once given the security and speed, it is going to change the consumer behavior. A spending and saving trend is bound to occur with the prevalence of a sweeping mobile payment system throughout the society.

and brings the risk of needle-related diseases and injuries. The new microneedle patch is made of dissolvable material,
eliminating needle-related risks. It is also easy to use without the need for trained medical personnel,
Microneedles made from these materials also run the risk of breaking off in the skin, leaving tiny fragments behind.
The new dissolvable patch eliminates this risk as the microneedles are designed to dissolve in the skin. e have shown that the patch is safe and that it works well.

but also makes little sense as potential terrorists will move away from public domains controlled by such large companies to darker areas of the web where they are monitored less-easily.
Moving away from terrorism, surveillance is a controversial subject on a global scale thanks to whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden
and his NSA revelations surrounding their far-reaching programs. The parliamentary assembly of the Council of europe has stated unequivocally in a report that it considers mass digital spying such as that enacted by the NSA to be a fundamental threat to human rights.
Abstaining from surveillance efforts will allow groups with harmful intent to operate and organise without interruption.
Despite this the commission is proposing further surveillance. The Guardian reports of a proposal which would require the personal data of all passengers flying in

The issue of online security and encryption has never been far from mainstream headlines since whistleblower Edward Snowden made a series of revelations about how the National security agency (NSA) mines its data from private communications.
Some of the major tech companies have also been accused of complicitly allowing the government access to backdoor portals to their data.

which may threaten the personal security of mobile devices and communication. As reported by The Washington post,
security experts and others have signalled support for the rejection of proposals which would allow law enforcement to view decrypted data on mobile devices.
According to the publication, the signatories are appealing to government officials to protect privacy rights in light of companies adding increased security and encryption to mobile devices in a post-Snowden era.
Encryption and personal privacy hit the spotlight after former US National security agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden released a swathe of confidential files documenting the widespread, bulk data collection and spying activities
The letter says"strong encryption is the cornerstone of the modern information economy's security,
