So I had this idea. Two items that most college students go out and buy, or acquire in some cheaper way, prior to starting school are a computer and a printer. Presently, computers can be miniaturized to take up about as much space as a notebook which is very convenient. Yet, printers still remain commercially the size of all of the student's textbooks combined into one heavy, awkward -shaped, necessity. My thought is to mass produce printers roughly the same size as a laptop with some form of an attachment mechanism so as to be able to transport both conveniently. The technology exists for these printers. I have seen some that are only a little thicker than a laptop. They are not very common, but they do exist. So we create a printer thin enough to attach beneath the laptop, removable of course, and an even thinner compartment beneath that to contain paper. This will make the laptop contraption thicker and heavier, but it will make it more useful as well. It would work perfectly students constantly moving, and for adults going back and forth from home to office, or business trips.
Genius, right? =]
Until my next technological breakthrough,

I would most certainly buy this. If it were thin enough, you could maybe also attach the printer to the lid of the laptop.
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot what we're supposed to put in comments.
I agree this sounds very convenient for college and even high school students. Another thing that you may like to mention are the ink cartridges and how many sheets of paper you can print.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a printer attached to a laptop. But will the printer be able to print enough paper for those huge 10+ page essays that always get assigned now and then?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really useful. It would require of rehaul of all current printer technology though. Where would the printer draw its power from. Will laptops be outfitted with a way to transfer power to the printer?
