Business cards - a relic of the past or...?

It would seem - what are these business cards for in the online era? In personal communication I am always pleased to receive a business card from my partner. Do you think it is worth spending the time to create an electronic business card?

an electronic business card is a cool concept, but how would they be delivered or given out?

I recently saw a pretty cool one which was a physical card that used NFC - so you'd just put your phone next to it and it would connect you via LinkedIn.
@maxwellcdavis Yes, indeed, very presentable) I wonder how much work it can be to make such business cards)
Launching soon!
Business cards are still used in the form of cards with QR codes or NFC. I prefer digital business cards as they are Eco-Friendly, Affordable, Always up-to-date, and Convenient.
@qudsia_ali I like business cards, too) Digital business cards are interesting. What does it look like for you, can you describe it?
Launching soon!
@katerina_kurshina As I am a massive supporter of eco-friendly products. That's why I use digital business cards instead of physical ones. I am currently using Hihello for my digital card, and I can share my card with someone via a text message, email, social media, or NFC tag. And I can even share it from my Apple Watch.
I immediately associate the business cards with this great scene from the 1980s movie American Psycho:
Unfortunately, it seems that the business card as we knew it is more a relic of the past.
For those of you who don't know American Psycho, I hope you enjoy
"I think in the modern era, a QR code type feature on the business card will be beneficial. After scanning it, it should connect you to the owner's accounts (social media or other).
I am not sure if such a thing is in practice today."
