Community Headlines — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:40:23 GMT

The "LA Daddy" blog, which you can find at http://www.ladaddy.com , has mentioned their Presto machine, and how happy they are with it. Here's an excerpt from the April 28, 2008 blog entry: "...And it’s been a life saver for us. I received an HP printer in the mail and sent it off to her dad in Ohio. We pay a monthly service fee and it gives us an email address to send stuff to him (less than $10 a month, which is lower than most ISP services.) It formats anything we send automatically and no spam can be sent. You can even choose the times that it delivers and prints the emails or pics. And there’s no limit to how much you can send them each month." In addition, the blog is running a contest in which you can win your very own Presto! [Via LADaddy]

Younger people hooked on instant communications like SMS and IM communicate differently with their grandparents due to the fear of new technology common among older people, according to a new poll released by Montreal-based international call provider MOBIVOX. Almost 60 percent of those under 35 say that they communicate differently with older, less tech savvy family members and friends. This is probably not surprising, as less than 10 percent of those over 65 use SMS or IM regularly and over half still use letters. These barriers on relationships is felt across generations, the report adds – one in three Americans, regardless of age, say that they don't connect as often as they would like with those they love because they don't use the same communications technology.
