#Now micro reading: Personalized byte size newspaper


#1.A London base design company BERG is bringing out a tiny printer (which can sit on your shelf like an alarm clock) that chews down your daily dose of social feed into byte size newspaper.


Little Printer is wirelessly hooked up to a box, which plugs into your broadband router. This box connects Little Printer to a variety of web content chosen through a smartphone. For instance, if you want foursquare updates, along with Google calendar reminders, Little Printer will pull those from the Internet, store them temporarily until you press the print button located at the top of the printer.

Well, in this era of smartphones, this is simply good. Imagine reading your tiny personalised newspaper with your morning coffee. It works perfect.  I welcome this product. It would be great to connect such small household items to the internet making life more interesting.
So what is coming next in the household line? It would be great to connect your fridge with the local supermarket. Hmm.. sounds stupid but might work.
