With Bluetooth, Siri, and talk-to-text, there's no question that hands free is a big thing now. Are you tired of the time it takes to go to a coffee shop, order your drink, find your wallet, pay for your drink, put your wallet away, and wait for your drink? Well, there's an app for that! If you haven't heard of Square, they are mostly known for their product that makes it easier for smaller businesses to accept credit card payments using your phone or tablet (sell with Square). What I want to talk about is their newest "product" called Square Wallet. The Square Wallet is a app you can download on your phone and use it to pay instead of getting out your credit card or going through the steps of finding payment information on your phone. Using the Square Wallet, the merchant behind the counter will be able to look up your name and confirm it is you by looking at the picture associated with your name without even getting your phone out. You're basically "paying with your name."
The only problem I see with this is that there may not be very many stores or restaurants that accept this type of payment, but other than that, I feel that this might be the "next big thing."
