The only thing more unnecessary than a name badge that says “Hello, my name is…” is one that blinks. Sorta like the old HTML tag that most of us had the good sense to stop using about a decade ago.
Thanks to the fine folks at Korea’s Neolux, we’ll soon be staring at blinking badges that use the same E-Ink technology you might find in a book reader, or a superfluous ad in Esquire.
