Business cards
The other day I was reading Do You Still Carry Business Cards? on Lifehacker and immediately answered "Ha, NO". I just don’t see a need for business cards. If you want someone’s contact information, then you either know mutual friend or you enter their info in your phone. That said, I figured I would begrudgingly [...]
