'Lovebox' is currently part of a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter that is introducing the world to a WiFi-enabled message box that allows an image or digital messages of up to 168 characters to be sent at a time.
One the outside, Lovebox takes the form of a low-tech wooden box, but when a message is received, the heart begins to spin until the recipient opens the lid to discover the secret inside. To compose and send a message, one uses the Lovebox app. With one Lovebox, up to 20 individual users may be connected, making it possible for kids, friends, romantic partners and families to keep connected to one another in a fun, loving way—especially if they live apart from one another.
Lovebox asks: "What if technology could create happiness and bring people closer together?"
