Created by Stuart Calvey, the "Snap + Send Postcard" allows you to snap pictures and then mail the camera - which resembles, and is almost as thin as, a postcard - directly to the whoever you like. This is a great concept even though I don't think you should expect great quality out of this gadget... but it is very expedient.
Implications - With communication having gone digital, many brands are taking traditional methods of exchanging information to new heights. Consumers are looking for quick ways to send messages to friends locally and internationally. This generation has smartphones, but to cater to those nostalgic for simpler times, it'd be a quirky, interesting idea for companies to continue to integrate old communication methods into modern times without losing its classical charm.
