Fairy tale stories include:
- The Sleeping Beauty
- The Three Bears
- Cinderella

- And many more!!!
In addition to the included content, Parents can upload their own photos, videos, and audio recordings that children can access, making the bear a library of a child's favorite things.

Postcards have always been thoughtful little trinkets we mail to each other from our lives in and around the world. Slim, glossy, and easily saved, post cards have a physical significance to us... they are often placed on refrigerators and stored in boxes of remembrance for continued enjoyment, or reminders of events to come. Nowadays, as is in the case of postcards from travelers, they are being replaced with emails containing captured images and videos in the attachment. These emails are opened and regulated to piles of open email rarely to be visited again. Momento Smart Connect has brought the postcard back with their new Smart Postcard . The Momento Smart Postcard allows the sender to upload hours of digital videos, images, and audio to the card itself. The receiver need only tap with their NFC enabled smartphone to access all the images the sender wishes to share. Now the physical keepsake can be saved and enjoyed while also having easy access to all the adventures, beeauty, and memories the sender wishes to share. Thank you postcards can be saved with personal messages, business cards can be saved with online marketplace info, and musicians can easily mail over their entire catalog. These Smart Cards are perfect for artist, photographers, and small businesses. Momento Smart Connect currently has a line of seasonal cards , and cards you can customize yourself .
Recently, the city of Chicago chose to experiment with "last mile" transportation. They signed a contract with a city bike company and allowed multiple electric scooter companies a "trial period" during the warmer months. It was a controversial move because it allowed riders to essentially leave the scooters on sidewalks after arriving at their destination where other users could use the NFC or QR feature on their phone to unlock them and use them as well. Personally, I thought they sounded fun. And you know what? I was right, they were fun, except for one exceptionally glaring problem. There were five different companies, and each company had its own app and own payment system. So depending on what scooter you chose, you'd have to wait for the app to download, register, and then enter your payment information from scratch, eating up a notable amount of time you thought you'd be saving. Fortunately, Apple's NFC App Clips changes all that.
