I love when people hack things… basically take one piece of technology and turn it into something else, especially when it’s useful.
The other day I stumbled upon an emailing typewriter.
This project was inspired by a mother’s frustration with e-mail and using a computer.
Apparently she simply cannot relate to scroll bars, the mouse, control keys and so on.
Her son decided to make for her a typewriter that sends email.
It is a regular portable typewriter, which has concealed electronics that automatically sends the typed letter as an email to the intended person when the letter is finished and pulled out of the machine’s carriage.
On the geektastic scale of 1 to 10, I give this a 9.
