Cash in your pocket

cash in your pocket postcardIf you’ve ever had to wait patiently in a long queue to buy something in a shop and thought “there must be a simpler and quicker way to do this”, then you should consider being an engineer.

Engineers are helping to move money quickly, simply and safely by changing the technology that’s used in shops, public transport and at events. Near-field communication technology will allow “wave and pay” purchases in the future, allowing people to spend their time doing things other than shopping and queuing!

The work of engineers also helps us figure out how much money we have, even in the most remote of places. If you wanted to find out your bank balance in Antarctica, you could use the world’s most southerly cash point!
