Grandma has no computer? Still send her e-mail
Posted on 30. Nov, 2009 by admin in Green Tech
A mailbox containing real mail with real family pictures is about as rare these days as a day without e-mail. But for those who don’t use e-mail — like many of our non-wired grandparents — there’s now a service that sends family news and digital pictures from your e-mail account to someone’s snail mailbox for $9.95 a month.
Sunnygram offers one free month trial, so my uncle and I tried it out with my e-mail-free grandmother. It was simple: I just wrote an e-mail to her, attached some photos and hit “send.”
Sunnygram collects all of the e-mails addressed to her and mails out a weekly, cheery compilation of our messages (large font is an option) with embedded pictures. She could have responded to us through a Sunnygram prepaid letter (which would be scanned and e-mailed to us) or a toll-free number (the audio file then would be e-mailed to us), but she found that it was easier to call us on the phone directly, as usual.
