Part of me wants to snark back at you (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=NFC), but I had to look it up too, and the larger issue is: this page really should have told us. I'm familiar with the general concept, but the acronym is not yet in mainstream use!

Simple explanation: RFID => reading a chip, NFC => communicating with a chip.
