A Simple Email Printer
I love it when technology gets simpler. Sometimes it feels like a step backwards, but often simplifying tweaks make stuff more accessable for the average human. Such is the case, I think, with the computerless email printer (via Neatorama):
This is the color inkjet printer that only requires standard AC power and a telephone line to automatically print spam-free e-mail and pictures from friends and family you designate, eliminating the need for a dedicated personal computer and high-speed internet connection. The low-profile printer calls the toll-free number of the included e-mail service daily, and downloads and prints any new messages, including full-color pictures waiting in your account.
Great for the late adopter or luddite in your life who still wants to receive joke emails or photos of the kids. Mind you, if you set this badboy up for your grandmother, you’d want to make sure the email address had some powerful anti-spam software. I’m pretty sure grandma doesn’t want any emails about “multi-racial nude midgets indulging in midget sex message from Sonia” or whatever.
