My last post about senior email referenced a review from Amazon that described the value families get from hooking up their parents or grandparents digitally. For this post, I asked someone who didn’t know anything about Presto to read about it and write down what they thought the value was. This provided an “outsiders” perspective that is uncolored by actual use of the product, or from any pressure to write a review than panders to a particular audience. I found it interesting and hope you like it. Thanks to the author (who asked to remain anonymous) — Peter Radsliff, CEO, Presto Services Inc.

“In today’s internet savvy world everything is done digitally including updating family members. But what about family members who don’t want to mess with email, can't afford a computer or simply do not want one?

Postal offices are quickly fading and a phone call can only provide so much. 
It certainly can’t allow your loved ones to watch as your family grows. As the younger generation continues to become technically inclined, most of our elder generation simply refuses to buy in to all of it. But it’s still important to keep them updated and there is a great way to do that.

It’s called Presto.

Presto is an email machine that allows an e-letter to be sent through a phone line to your loved one without the use of internet or computer. It allows them to print a full document of what you have sent to them from a simple “Hello” to a Christmas newsletter. Presto allows for full color photos as well so your loved ones can receive updated pictures of your family quickly.

When most people hear about an email machine, the first thing that comes to mind is spam. With Presto, you don’t have to worry about spam. This email machine only allows for authorized users to send directly to the machine’s specified address.

Presto provides a great source of communication with family members and since most of us do everything we can online in today’s world, it makes our life much simpler as well. It’s a quick and efficient way to communicate regularly and is very easy-to-use. It’s a plug and go email machine and doesn’t have a lot of confusing switches, gizmos and gadgets.

If you are looking for a great way to communicate that is an alternative to email and internet Presto can provide a great way to keep family members updated without the use of a computer.”
