yeah, or you could like... save the 50-100 dollars that this thing costs and write the things you need on a piece of paper

 

Another way for people to forget how to write words with a pen/pencil on real paper. lol

 

talk about being lazy.......

 

cool. but. might as well just write it out instead of going through all that trouble scanning and then uploading it on the computer. etc etc. pointless much?

 

what if it works like those sushi places
where it then is transmited via inferred
then it will print out a receipt for the chief, but instead it prints out a reciept at the front door for you to take as your walking out

 

exactly.. technology is making us lazier and fatter -sleep

 

its a cool gadget to have but i think people will get lazier as more tech gadget are invented to simplified our daily life.

 

ehh this isnt necessary.... waste of money in my opinion
