Hybrid newsbox


Here's one way to blend old traditions with new technology. Newspaper editor Scott Walker replaced the guts of a newspaper vending machine with a computer and video monitor. Instead of the front page of a newsprint paper, the window now shows digital pics of the front pages of newspapers from across the country. Here's more about his fun project.

This is a very creative way to honor old traditions and converge it with new media and new technology.

I love this idea of bringing the old style back into new technology. Even I am a sucker for old style with a new twist. I think these creative ideas are a good way to connect with more people who are gradually adjusting to all the new technology.

this has to be the coolest thing ever! The guy should put a patent on it if it does not violate macintosh rules. Or, if he's smart, link up the Macintosh and make some $$$ off of it!
