Urban Printers

Nov 15, 2008

Tokyo ticket machine used to print out a travel card travel history. For the most part humans like the physical - even if once they have a physical copy they decide to dispose of it shortly thereafter. If you live in the city lo-fi printers are everywhere - from ticketing machines to ATM's to cash registers - and they're becoming smaller to the point of being pocketable. They're also increasingly connected - which creates a whole world of service design and billing options.

Thought for today on this balmy Tokyo Saturday morning - our ever increasing options to convert the digital to the physical.
