Another Printer...?

This is amazing.


In this age of all things digital, it's very difficult to produce something that uses paper in a non wasteful way. In fact the cons outweigh the positives in using paper so much that it looks to be obsolete in 20 years. But this little printer is very neat, concise and innovative. It picks and prints out snippets of tweets, images, news, (and pretty much anything thing else you want on there) out on a piece of paper- the size of a receipt. Not only does it bring the digital age back down to a more traditional approach, it is relevant and in my opinion, convenient for the consumer. If you've only got five minutes, print out the information and you have it on a bit of paper- want to come back to it? pin it onto your fridge, keep it on your desk.

So it may not be perfect, and there may be a huge road ahead for improvements and developments, but I like where it is going.
