NFC is cool technology, and I think we'll see some really interesting uses in the next year or two. However, all of the examples in the article could just as easily be performed with some shortcuts programmed into your phone, accessible from an icon on the home screen. Eg a "goodnight" button that dims your screen, turns off your ringtone and sets an alarm Or an "I'm coming home" that texts your family with your ETA (based on your location?! That would be cool) What I'd really like to see is an ITTT-style shortcut builder for iOS.
