It solves the problem of wasted energy delivering mail people don't want, like junk mail/spam. I'd be very interested to see how much wasted paper and gas goes into producing and delivering junk mail. Mail processing centers already use computer vision to see where a parcel's going instead of manually sorting, so this is a logical step forward.
- ada1981 8y agoHow does this stop junk mail ? I have this and get an email every day showing me a bunch of mail I don’t want or need.
- PascLeRasc 8y agoMy mistake. I thought the point was to let you choose to discard mail before receiving it.
- ada1981 8y agoThat would be awesome, but it’s just a dark foreshadowing of the junk to come.
