Concept Blogging
Do we really want to know what happens when a prisoner drops his soap in the shower? Or to read about the activities that takes place after lights out? Well, Yejin Mun, a designer for Yanko Design, believes so, and hence has created the P:log blogging device. Made to allow anonymous posting by inmates, the P:log consists of a touchscreen panel and an integrated printer/scanner unit. Each prisoner will have his own blog account and can upload his thoughts by scanning a written letter. Before the article hits the Internet, the prison warden will be able to screen for undesirable materials or hidden codes, though the identity of the poster remains unknown. The letter will then be released to the public for comments which are accessible by the inmates.
