Smart Cards

Filed under: General

I’ve read an article on the use of smart card in a high school in Malaysia to check students’ attendance a few days ago. It is an interesting to see that local high schools are embracing technology in day to day activities. It took teachers to go through a long list of students to check for those who cuts classes, but now students must ‘clock in’ and ‘ clock out’ their attendance when their in school. Although, smart card usage has been implemented by companies and government bodies to access buildings and other use, however implementation cost is very high. When even a high school has adopted this method, we can say that people now are willing to pay the cost to have technological advance as part of their lives collectively.

Smart Card was first patented in 1974 and issued a few years later. On the contrary, smart card has not been fully utilized. Some chose to use barcodes rather than chips. But this does depends on the longevity of the use because of its cost.

Malaysian government has also initiated a project where the traditional identity card will be replace by Smart Cards and the nation wide deployment has started since last year. The smart identity card is named MyKad.
MyKad enable users to use it as an identity card as well as a driver’s licence. It also functions as a reload able Touch ‘n Go card that can be used to pay for toll, parking, bus fare and theme park tickets. It behaves like a bank card that facilitates daily transactions and also contains basic medical information if users faced any emergency.

In a way, smart card has merged the usage of different media from an identification card to a bank card that can support banking transaction. A purse that was once full of cards now has only one that can play many roles. That is why it is called a Smart Card and not just a card.
