They may seem quaint in a day of smartphones and quick connections, but is there a place for the Rolodex? Credit: Handout
Once upon a time, most business people had a Rolodex on their desk. For the youngsters out there, that meant they kept contacts' names and phone numbers on little cards that snapped in and out of this rotating file device (the name is a combination of rolling and index). Some users avoided the effort of writing by taping the contact's business cards directly to the Rolodex index card.
