Enter the BlackBox, a portable printer device that easily plugs into your mobile phone or laptop and prints out your short messages using standard, non-carbon receipt paper. A great way for remembering important, the BlackBox can be likened to the all-important black box found in aeroplanes.
BlackBox prints tow matching copies of a conversation of any length.
BlackBox is the initiative of designer Joe Doucet, who argues that “a paperless society only sounds good on paper”.
