The Screenless Office, exists as a working prototype right now and has several modular software “bureaus” which allow a user to consume and navigate news, email and social-media with output printed on a standard office printer or small reciept printer.
Brendan Howell created the http://screenl.es office with the idea of exploring how to do today’s computer tasks without using a screen, most of it relies on paper artifacts.
In a similar idea, there’s this idea of a paper phone. Where each day, or whenever needed, you’d print just enough to get you through the day, the paper zine would have the weather, a map cropped between where you are and your destination, as well as your calendar events, and contacts and so on.
Binding
There’s an elegant aspect of thread bookbinding worthy of mention.
These little zines are bound using the 5 holes pamphlet stitch.
