Build Me An App To Replace Business Cards


Print is dead? But why do we still need to print business cards?

Even the tabloids, broadsheets, and magazines are closing down. The only reason they are still here is because they belong to a bigger network of businesses who still find print media as influential and prestigious eventhough they've lied about their readership justvto attract or keep advertisers.  I see more of these prints as "pambalot ng tinapa" rather than being read.

But even radio and television are extinct to the eyes of Millenials. Just finished chatting with a college student and confirmed he has never watched TV all his life except for a few glances. His daily source of information is online.

Exchanging business cards among new acquaintances has also been a culture. Thus, it is nothing more but a formality. You'll see yourself setting aside those cards once you have his email and contact number on your phone.

I've been wondering why someone has not yet developed an app that would automatically get my contact information from my smartphone and send them over via Bluetooth, wifi, NFR,  or any other technology. to the other person's smartphone.

That would surely be cool.
