Business Cards in a Digital Age

Paul McNamara muses on the resiliance of paper business cards in an age of digital equivilents.

McNamara notes that incompatible devices can be an issue with transferring data. Unmentioned is that fact that it is probably easier (and less off-putting in a crowded, jostling environment) to jot a note on the back of a business card than to bring out a device, load an application, and type in a note. I also think some individuals do not want strangers connecting to their devices, in case the digital business card is a trojan horse.
