‘Filling the Gaps’

Time has posted a piece about a service I never knew existed:

Presto and Celery, which both launched in 2006, deliver e-mail printouts almost in real-time because they require subscribers to purchase hardware to handle incoming messages. (In addition to personal updates and interesting articles, caregivers can send reminders about doctors’ appointments or family functions.) Celery charges $13.98 a month to send and receive (color printouts of) e-mails — as well as Facebook and Twitter updates — via a fax machine, which costs $119 if you don’t already own one.

I’m not sure what to say, honestly.
