Blame the nametags for the same reason I blame cellphones -- now I don't have to remember a single telephone number... and now, I CAN'T. You could tell me a number and I'll forget it halfway through writing it down. I used to have HUNDREDS of telephone numbers in my head! ...but I think they all fell out with each new email address learned.
Man, sometimes I can see some real value in making people wear name-tags. Hrm, come to think of it, nearly every place I've worked does require badges. The problem is that most people wear them at the hip, and in a professional environment, it's kinda hard to casually stare at someone's crotch pants-pocket. *cough*
