Talk:Business card
From Academic Kids
Regarding:
Recent technological advances have made possible CD-ROM "business cards" containing 35 - 50 megabytes of data. These cards may be square, round or oblong but are approximately the same size as a conventional business card. They are playable in most computer CD drives. Despite the ability to include dynamic presentations and a great deal of data, these cards are not in common use.
What is the foundation for the final sentence of that paragraph?
Despite the ability to include dynamic presentations and a great deal of data, these cards are not in common use.
I'm inclined to delete that sentence as I don't see it as definitive nor relevant to the article. Comments? Bevo 00:07, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Missing parts
On current usage there is no description on proper conduct on handling business cards, is there a reason for that? This is an all too common source of unintended insult when westerners attempt to do business in the Far East, particularly in Japan. There is no description on standards for digitally encoded information in a 2D barcode, any reason for that? Finally, in Japan it is not uncommon to see business cards printed on phonecards encoded in such a way that when you swipe it through a cardphone it automatically also dials the person who had the card printed.
