poken pulse

the poken pulse is a small device which digitally exchanges contact information linking real life encounters
with online social networks. the poken pulse works by touching two devices together. once connected,
the pieces exchange information and store it on a usb key so it can be uploaded to a computer. the poken
concept aims to provide the same function as a business card only digitally. the original poken featured
a small animal or character on the gadget, while the new poken pulse is a more professional looking
product with a number of colourways created by dutch artist gaby zwaan. the poken pulse has storage for
contacts as well as a free 2gb of memory for other data. the device is battery operated, but battery life is
estimated at 8 to 12 months.

This is such a bad idea. What is wrong with talking to each other, writing contact information, giving or getting a business card? I thought some contact with other people is appreciated and makes us human?

I really don't get this idea as it is supposed to deliver exactly the opposite of what we want.

Strongly disagree, Poken seems to be the perfect icebreaker...
