For so long as I’ve been alive, business cards have been incredibly popular ways to solidify a contact. Printing of the cards has gotten to be more quality for less cash and so everybody and their bro have a card. When I was real young it was a telephone number and perhaps a fax number if the office was real emerging on the technology scene.

Now technology has taken over business to the point it is a legit question whether there’ll be business cards in the future. Are they actually necessary? Well at one point yes it was a clever idea and folk really held on to a card and used them as a contact card that they might pop in their rolodex. Now no one has a rolodex and it might take just as long to look somebody up in the net yellow pages than it might to flip to the right rolodex file to look up a name and a number.

So essentially I suspect that they’re out as we all know them. That’s not to say they’re out for good. No technology has a method of choosing a way to paste around. Now we’re seeing business cards as mini CD-Rom that not only have the name and address but also an individual intro to the person and work of the giver as well as an outline of the company that the donor works. This is often as easy as a pdf file or as difficult as an animated tour with interactive features. Also we are seeing stuff like an electronic card that will be dispatched to each other with wireless connections between cartable digital devices. So that the small paper card that used to be very hot is phasing out but the postulate isn’t dead. Rather it is taking on a life of its own with technology and ingenuity being its energy. Who knows perhaps in the not so distant future we are going to have holographic business cards that may be sent from the chips in our wrist that also contain all of the other info that we employed in our daily existence including our shopping lists and checking account info.
