Putting a memory card slot, something that needs to be accessible, on the back of a computer is simple bad design. You might as well put a DVD drive there if you weren't too cool to use DVDs. Not quite off-topic... unless I've missed something the new iMacs don't seem to have a DVD drive, you'd need to buy a SuperDrive or similar 
I'll be happy if someone could show me the error of my ways 
The error of your ways is your obsession with physical media. 
I'm more than happy to see the back of the floppy drive, CD, VHS, DVD, etc - they're fragile and easy to lose, and i couldn't tell you the last time I used an optical drive.

Information has to be stored on something. It's ironic that the most durable modern physical medium is still paper.
'Sir, please,' she said ... 'Will you not share your wisdom with us?'
'I have no wisdom,' he told her.
'Your experiences, then?'
'They have been trivial, uninteresting, and full of error.'

Discs are a dying species, both optical and in hard drives.
Dvd's etc are a pita and I'll be glad to see them gone.
When SSD's drop to hd g/$ rates they will be gone also.

Actually, I was thinking of fountain pens. No problem, provided you use a converter when you buy the proper ink

The error of your ways is your obsession with physical media. So what non-physical media are you going to use to store data etc?
