Zpen: A Touch of Humanity in The Digital Era
In spite of the fact that I do tend to favor modern technology, I also do miss those times when I used to write notes in class to pass around or send letters to friends in other countries. The Zpen can provide some sort of a hybrid between personalization and technology.
Zpen has the capability to record your pen strokes right down to the dot in the letter “i.” All you have to do is clip the received on top of a pad of paper where you will write on and everything gets recorded. By everything, I meant even doodles and drawings, not just words or letters. You just plug the device onto a free USB port in your computer ans transfer your heartfelt letter onto the computer to be emailed or shared with the world. If you just use Zpen to scrawl ideas or parts of your novel while away from your computer, and your handwriting sucks, you can transform it into ordinary computer text once transferred. Great isn’t it? Too bad you have to pony up £99.99 for it, but hey, if you really have a need for it, it might be worth the hole in your pocket.
These kinds of gadgets are great for college kids as you can transfer all of your notes into an outline and easily edit them. The accuracy has gotten much better too.
