I remain very suspicious concerning NFC. QR codes can be very invasive, meaning you can adopt a different code to identify each physical location, but the person who places the code cannot be 100% sure of the geographical location of the person using the code. With NFC, each chip is uniquely identified. So I wonder if those security concerns will overide the more practical and user friendly side of NFC. I think we can wait and see until the NFC technology becomes cheap enough for it to be interesting for us. After all, QR codes are 100% free to produce and print. That is not the case for NFC.
