I'll let you decide whether this is a step forward of back in terms of technology. (My personal view is the latter). Basically, this thing is a personal email device that looks and acts like a typewriter. I guess if this gets my grandparents to use email, it can't be a bad thing...but wouldn't they be better off with an inexpensive pc that can also use to play solitaire?
Here's a summary from the blog Gizmodo:
Apparently you need to use special paper in order to be able to send emails, but the way you can receive emails on thing is strangely missing.
Perhaps this is a last-ditch effort for the typewriter industry to sell ink ribbon and special papers. Here's to hoping they can also find a way to use typewriter correction tape...
