Are business cards obsolete?

Business cards are so 2007:

This is of particular interest to me, because right now, we're redesigning our business cards. Mind you, I'm entirely cognizant of what that means for the environment, but there's also the facts of life of being a designer, which is that you're given a chance to show off your design skills with your card. It's an impression maker. You have a chance to work your way into the memory of whomever you're giving your card to if you work it right, having a highly eye catching design.


So what do you think? Is this going to work? Can we do away with business cards? If so, how will we immediately give someone an idea of our style and aesthetic? Sound off in the comments.
