yeah, it's a neat idea. but realistically, this is what will happen:
- the minimum wage drone will pick up the card from the bin, ready to
key in the data.
- he/she will be unable to find a spot in the data entry program to
accept Newton info
- he/she will ask the supervisor, who will either
- not know and ask the next level of supervisor
- who will say "toss it!"
or
- say "toss it!"
this is NOT what will happen:
- red-faced, the drone, the supervisor, and the supervisor's supervisor
all rush to Steve's office doorway, to breathlessly announce "Mr. Jobs!
We're getting literally tens, maybe even DOZENS, of these obsolete
registration cards! Oh! What to do!??!!?"
so...?
