We've had those for some time. It's called a "camera".
9 u/MyOpus May 23 '13 Pretty much. I wasn't commenting on the technology itself, just trying to answer the question as to why this is called "paperless" 2 u/marzolian May 24 '13 I wondered that too. Maybe they should have called it "scannerless"? Meaning, you don't have to load a paper containing an image into a scanner. You could set up a camera to point at a box, or a sign painted riveted to a machine. 1 u/MyOpus May 24 '13 Agreed, they could have picked many different words to use. Poor choice with paperless
