wish I had mod points on this one...+1! In most situations I would agree with you completely, but at times business cards are appropriate. Think of a designer or artist, a well done, creative business card may be the first impression a potential client sees. At other times, depending on the context, a business card is a simple way to pass along contact information.
I dislike just handing out cards for handing them out. As an NGO worker overseas there are moments where I wish I had a business card, it reflects on my work as my agency...but I don't hand them out unless another person asks for one or it seems that it is appropriate. When I get unsolicited cards I generally toss them in the bin and forget.
