Tapwriters

The worlds smallest social network

The TapWriter is an internet connected thermal printer designed to bring local independent shops of Dundee together. The Tapwriter has two input functions. Firstly messages can be typed online at www.tapwriter.net - when sent the message prints out anonymously on all of the printers including your own. If the shopkeeper did not have time to type something on a website they could just press the button, or ‘tap’ as we call it, on the object itself. By ‘tapping’ a shop logo prints out on all the printers in ASCII form.
