1. Meet Zuta, the tiny printer that drives itself to make documents on the go

2. Summary: In this article it talks about how much technology has made an
improvement with smart phones and tablets, But not with printers. Over the years
printers pretty much stayed the same while every other piece of technology got
smarter, lighter and faster. Some students from Lev Institute, a technology school in
Jerusalem wanted to change the aspect of printers. They asked questions like why
have a piece of paper moving around when you can have the print head itself run on
the paper? So from that point on they came up with a Pocket printer called Zuta
(small in Aramaic). Their appeal to the companies and to the designers was that they
wanted to make a cheaper and smaller printer for people to have access to. A lot of
people dont work in the office no more or dont have time to print stuff at home.
Some people go to the library to print out papers because of the cost of printers. The
company launched a campaign with Microsofts Think Next event and reached a goal
of $400,000 in one week. The whole objective of the printer is to make it as accurate
as possible and also as small as possible.

3. Two additional Internet articles: I used google and yahoo to find my other articles.
On google I found the article Print on the go with this pocket sized device and on
yahoo I found the article Mini robot makes printing portable. These two articles
have the same information about Zuta. Both articles had information on how the co-
founder Tuvia Elbaum talked about how they just wanted to change the whole
printing style. Everything else was going mobile and wireless and they was struggling
trying to figure out how they was going make the pocket printer smaller and still be
able to have the print head on it.


4. TRAAP: Mini Mobile robot makes printing portable
Time- April 14, 2014
Relevance- Its the same topic just a different source of information.
Authority- Author Stu Robarts is a much known author who has written
articles on many technology stories.


Accurate_ The information I have from the article is trustworthy because it
has the co-founder of the invention talking to the author about the pocket
printer. Giving details and facts about the topic.
Purpose- The article was written to persuade people to buy the pocket printer.
The pitch of having a hand held printer was very persuasive. This is a material
object.

5. Two journal articles: The two journal articles I found that had similarities to a
wireless printer was A Project-based Introduction to Linux & Upgrading and
Repairing PCs I used the CCBC library data base to find these journal articles.
Keywords I used in the search bar was portable, wireless, and printer.

6. Compare Internet & Journal articles: It was some similarities and differences
between the internet articles and the journal articles. The difference between the two
was that it was harder to find journal articles then it was to find internet articles. For
the journal articles I had to read a lot more rather than on the internet I can find what
Im looking for on the first search. The time of the two articles was a difference also,
the internet articles was more up to date than the journal articles. The Similarities of
the two types of articles was the authority. All the authors that written these articles
are well known in the writing industry.
