Swiping, it seems, is passé. Harvard has unveiled a new ID card which unlocks door when the card is simply placed near it.

"No swiping?!" Yes, this all sounds wonderful and miraculous... until you remember where most people keep their cards: oh, hey, their back pockets. This inevitably results in an awkward butt bumping motion because the ID owner is too lazy to take it out.

Just what Harvard needs -- more physical awkwardness.
