There’s a better way to use tablets than to codify law

Let’s just go ahead and say it, clay tablets weren’t the most efficient way to store and send information. Instead, we thought that your mobile could serve as a multifunctional tool to get you through the building. Now you can use your phone to enter the parking lot, manage bike sharing or just to get access to a room behind closed doors.
