I'm having an extremely hard time wrapping my head around the usefulness of this product. The Little Printer is generating hardcopy of snippets of temporal events. These snippets are reduced to headlines without content to put them into context. It is using thermal paper, which HN has identified does not have longevity for scrapbooks or archival purposes. I can't find the value of this. Why consume resources when my phone can provide me all this? I was very surprised to see it as a trending topic on Twitter. Why does everyone want one so terribly so?
It's like having an infinite supply of smartphone displays that are set up to show one thing at a time. Limited use, and temporal, but far more long-lasting than the notifications you get that disappear a second later.
