# Confession-Capturing Printers The Confession Message Printer Exposes Your Lies By Michael Nieto | Published 2014-01-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/message-printer References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/this-led-printer-creates-fleeting-messages-on-photosens-1506493156) & [sweet-tech-studio](http://www.sweet-tech-studio.com/2014/01/confession-machine.html) This message printer can expose your personal confessions from social networking sites. The confession machine printer was designed by Liat Segal who developed a concept of printing coded confessions rather than traditional printers. It features 16 ultraviolet LEDs to ‘print’ messages on a static surface where it comes out in blue faded ink. The message is revealed and then faded as an exposure of intimate but anonymous confessions. The text is gathered from various social networks that were made public but then translated into a confession. This unique message printer can actually determine what you posted was a lie in public with complete accuracy. This message printer is still a concept but would be useful for transcribing and verifying personal information. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Confession-capturing Printers:** Opportunity for printers that expose and reveal coded confessions for verification purposes. - **Social Networking Confessions:** Opportunity to gather and translate public social media posts into intimate, anonymous confessions. - **Verification Technology:** Opportunity to develop technology that can determine the accuracy of public statements made online. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Printing Technology:** Opportunity for printing companies to create printers that specialize in exposing and verifying coded confessions. - **Social Media Monitoring:** Opportunity for companies in the social media monitoring industry to develop tools for gathering and translating public posts into confessions. - **Verification and Authenticity:** Opportunity for companies specializing in verification technology to create tools that can determine the accuracy of online statements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Judgment-Free Confession Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malibu-confession-booth.md) - [Sticky Note Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nemonic-gen-2.md) - [Subtle Smartphone-Friendly Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-image-box.md) - [Freestyle Desktop Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-printer-device.md) - [Mailbox-Shaped Scanner Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tou.md) - [AR Message Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favor-ar.md) - [Video Screen-Integrated Thermal Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/n2thermal-printer.md) - [Industrial Handheld Printer Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scribe-handheld-printer.md) - [Printed Fortune Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houracle.md)
