Tech The Little Printer Stole My Heart

Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 10:44 AM

This is not a practical idea. I can't imagine it will take off. But I don't care, because I want the Little Printer in my house:

The Verge explains:

You choose the sources you want from an app on your iPhone or Android smartphone, and the data is beamed wirelessly to the thermal printer (no ink refills!) from the included Berg Cloud Bridge, which plugs into your router...BERG's CEO, Matt Webb, sees it as the perfect medium. He says that "paper is like a screen that never turns off. You can stick to the fridge or tuck it in your wallet. You can scribble on it or tear it and give it to a friend."

Adorable!

A techno geek just rediscovered why paper is useful. That's kind of surreal.

"Paper is like a screen that never turns off."

Indeed. It also makes up 30% of landfill waste.
