Would You Like To Charge Your Handphone With Your Wallet?
We are living in 2017, but stationery makers Kikki.K and Moleskine are already in 2030.
Does anybody remember jotting things down on a notepad? No? Okay, so most of us use the virtual notepad app on our mobile phones now to make a grocery list, but there are still people who love low-tech note-taking ways. But what if stationery brands like Kikki.K and Moleskine can meld old-school notebook cool with the convenience of technology? Moleskine has rolled out a hi-tech Smart Writing Set which transfers what you write on your Moleskine notepad to your phone or tablet, while cutesy Swedish stationery maker Kikki.K’s Charging Collection lets you charge your devices from wallets, clutches and planners inbuilt with a power bank. Are we living in the future already?

Moleskine Smart Writing Set, $359
Moleskine proves that the future is now, even with something as old-school as pen and paper. The Smart Writing Set comprises a paper ‘tablet’ that is really a notebook made with customised paper covered in dots that converts your penmanship into pixels on-screen, a ballpoint pen equipped with a hidden infrared camera to scan handwritten text and pictures onto a synced device of your choice (like a phone) via a special Moleskine Notesapp. Tap on the little envelope icon in a corner of your physical notebook, and the app also e-mails the text to your desired e-mail address. Get the planner version of this notebook, and you can even sync it to your digital calendar.
Do the Write Thing
For folks who like organising their schedule on a pen-and-paper diary, but don’t want the hassle of re-entering their notes on their online calendar. If you like drawing, this writing set is also a good way of transferring your drawings to a digital device without a scanner. Now you can enjoy writing the old-school way with the convenience of technology.
Kikki.K’s Charging Collection is available at their Ion Orchard and Raffles City Shopping Centre outlets, and online at www.kikki-k.com.
