I run a small business and do a lot of networking and I’ve noticed that people aren’t really handing out business cards anymore. Do you still use them?

This line is interesting from this article (no paywall or ads).
“Thinking about business cards in the future, they are destined to go the same way as the tie. Some people will use them but they will not serve any real purpose other than to simply establish an image about the person or the company they work for”.
I think that feels about right. It hadn’t even occurred to me to compare it to tie wearing, but I think it’s true. Maybe 2 out of 30 people now wear any kind of suit or tie to the groups I go to and it used to be the standard. I haven’t had to order any new cards in over 2 years and it used to be every six months.
