Presto! Get E-Mail Without a Computer

Presto Logo Presto is a service that allows people to send e-mail to people who don’t. And Presto! the people who don’t get a printout of the e-mail. (There are lots of senior managers out there would would benefit from this service, because they use their AAs as a Presto service and have all their e-mails printed out.)

Here’s how Presto works:

Presto 1-2-3

And they say on their site, it’s a simple 3-step operation:

Presto Steps

What a great service. As you can see, Presto’s target market is seniors. But I could imagine that it would also be a great way to get information to people who just don’t have a computer or an internet connection. Costs: Printer is about $150, and the Presto monthly service is $10. Not bad.

I'm surprised that an HR professional didn't pick up on the ageism remarks in Presto's marketing blurb. Have a look here to see what I mean. It may be a useful product but they shouldn't be classifying 70+ million boomers as technophobes.

I'm a boomer myself (1959), but didn't see myself in the technophobe category, I guess I thought that product was cool because of the access to those who simply don't have a computer or high speed internet. You're right, ageism is something to watch for in work situations. Good point. I was more laughing about execs who have their e-mail printed out in 2006. I think some of them are technophobes.
