When I look up something on the internet, I sometimes have to transfer it to a notebook or some other paper and I always find myself trying to access some kind of paste function to plop the information onto the paper and skip the tedium of actually writing something with a pen. What if there where a wireless device shaped like a pen that could receive a copy and paste off of the clip board from the computer and then it could be dragged across paper to leave a stripe containing the text that was copied from the computer?  How would it get on the paper?  There might be a little ball inside it that got coated with ink in a pattern that could be rolled on to paper and out would come words.  It might be shaped like one of those tag makers from the 70's that allowed you to label all of your toys.  Except the label maker would be a little tiny wireless printer that spit out stickers for you to paste into your address book, your calendar, an envelope, a journal.  Get to it, inventors! 4:43:57 PM    comment []
