All hail the papernet

A couple of days ago BERG released its Little Printer onto the World.

Being released in 2012 its one of things that could be (and is) easily dismissed by some quarters, but warmly embraced in others. In this age of faster mobile what could we want with a something like a till receipt printed for us.  The appeal to people like Josh, Warren, and Jeremy is that physical connection with the day-to-day digital world we inhabit.

Is this the first step to a realized ”papernet“? Maybe. This future seems quintessentially British, and the idea of having my digital flotsam printed off in a form that fits right into my Slimmy wallet for that morning coffee sits well with me.
