    That could be a nice addition to business cards, format the pattern as a vCard or something and you can quickly add the card as a contact.

    These usually ends up in the garbage anyway, so this at least doesn’t add more electronic in the landfill.

        QR codes require something electronic to read them.

        Business cards with plain text and maybe an image require as much tech to put on them as a QR code, a printing press of some kind. Making a nice looking card or generating a QR code requires more tech however.

            It does and I agree, but maybe its since I just woke up and I’m short on sleep, I read:

            well known method for putting a business card on paper that doesn’t require electronics: QR codes.

            as:

            We don’t need any electronics at all for any of this

            RFID is silly to put in a card that 99% will forget about and leave behind. QR codes are better as they are just the same ink that goes on it anyways.
