Mobile communication

A mobile mailbox
By Digital Utility TEAM | Culture, User Experience June 11th, 2012
Households across Canada and the United States are ditching their landlines in favour of mobile devices. Already the norm in most parts of the world, the growing number of mobile-only households is a clear indication that consumers want to stay connected without being tied to a physical location. A new start-up is taking this trend one step further and is looking to de-link snail mail from a fixed address. The premise behind Outbox is simple: they intercept your daily mail, scan it and push a digital copy to the recipient. Plus, users can request the original hardcopy of anything they receive. Positioned as a complement to traditional postal services, Outbox is part of a growing number of businesses that are using technology to reconcile the online and offline worlds without eradicating one or the other.
