Online address for those far from computers

Online address for those far from computers

Today, technology allows even people without a computer to receive digital photos and emails

An example is the Peggy Mail service, which helps Internet users stay in touch with people far from high tech. Another similar service is Presto.com, which allows people without a computer to receive digital photos and emails.

The site's target audience is elderly people and other consumers whose computers do not have Internet access. Presto enables such people to communicate and transmit information via the Internet. Communication is carried out through the email server at Presto.com, whose many addresses are associated with people without Internet access, and the Presto Printing MailBox – a service that connects to analog mail. When an email sender sends a message to the appropriate address, the Presto mail service turns them into real, full-color letters.

The service processes incoming mail 5 times a day. Everything can be individually configured via the web interface, even print quality and paper. Using this site, you can easily send medical reminders, event notifications, and any other similar messages.

The service currently costs $149.99; in addition, there is a special offer allowing full access to the service's features for just $99 – until December 14 of this year.

This experience is not unique. For example, another American company – Picwing – offers a service that allows users to automatically send printed photos to relatives once or twice a month.

Undoubtedly, there are many additional possibilities for connecting these two worlds. For instance, the services of Presto, Peggy Mail, and Picwing are only available to residents of the United States. But what prevents creating something similar in other countries?
