Veveve, or Voronin's Eternal Visit Card

In most cases, a business card is doomed to be short-lived. Business card holders change addresses, phone numbers, last names. Often the printing of business cards is initiated by the company where the business traveler lives , and after dismissal (or transfer to another position) the data printed on the card becomes irrelevant. I have a few dozen business cards in my business card with the data sent by a ball-point pen (the trouble of the glossy neighbors). Sometimes the update comes in the form of a new business card; sometimes it is not at all, the person is lost, and his phone ( from the business card ) is unavailable when needed.

Expensive, but convenient and original solution - an electronic business card , with a mini-chip for updating data (automatic, or manual - depending on the version). Similar ideas have already been implemented in the form of a mini-sit card and special usb cards . The advantages of the Voronin gadget (besides the durability of the carrier) are that the size of the “card” remains standard, and the thickness is equal to three ordinary business cards folded in a pile. A special film displays the map data without illumination ( in standard mode ), and with illumination ( in presentation mode ) by pressing the contact plate. The data on the business card is organized in such a way that “ at the top of the corner ” is the person, not his position, or the company; connections are possible between people, not share holdings, or land.

Synchronization and change of information occurs automatically. It is worth a card to be near the wireless Internet zone, it connects to a special network, and compares information. In the case of an update, it gives a certain signal. Global data storage is performed using a special web application, a passive social network . The network can receive information from existing and declared sources, as well as directly from the owner. This is much more convenient than printing business cards, or alerts to everyone who has ever received your business card, about changing contact information.

The electronic business card itself is planned as an expensive, stylish and status thing that will predetermine the range of its users. Although you can imagine the purchase of a gadget as a reasonable saving of money, paper, and optimization of troubles.
