Because of its data storage capacity, smart cards provide a host of new possibilities for information storage and transmission not available through other technologies. The portability of the device makes it possible for individuals to carry large amounts of important data, such as their entire medical history, in their wallet. This data can easily be accessed through a small PC peripheral or a dedicated, palm-sized reader. The card can then provide access to information in situations where on-line access to the same data might be impossible. 8, record 1, English, - smart%20card
