Clipper provides a shift in regular newspaper vending machines to the new world of real-time networked physical objects. Providing the reader multiple options of news feeds, the latest RSS information from the source is downloaded and printed fresh at the moment you ask for your newspaper.

I was inspired by how the new trend of blogging, and dynamic information of rss is changing our understanding of gathering news. We are still reading newspapers, but a lot of people also started to read blogs, and feeds daily through various rss readers. This project proposes a future change on regular street newspaper boxes, which shift from their static status to a dynamic networked object to adapt to this change.

I have made research on how people are using blogs and feeds. And how they are important on their lives.

anyone who reads newspapers or blogs

user comes and puts a 25c to a slot he wants to read the blog of. Then newspaper box starts to download the latest entries and prints it. User opens the glass door, takes his print out, and closes the door. User leaves.

it is made of wood construction, a photo printer, arduino-lantronix, and a hidden laptop.

I am expecting to learn a lot after observing people's reaction to this. are we ready for such a change, should newspapers be replaced with their dynamic updating instances?
besides that, I am pushing my limits to keep the interaction old school (no leds, buttons, etc..) to create a dilemma between its simplicity and technology.
