Share Everyday Moments With Mom This Mother's Day

Mom is the heart of the family, so it is important to show her how special she is throughout the year. This Mother's Day, give mom the gift of sharing everyday moments, like photos of the kids, invitations, and the latest family news that she otherwis
e might miss. Sending an email may be a convenient option for staying in touch, but what if mom doesn't have a computer or is not online?

According to a recent Pew Internet & American Life survey, nearly 65 million American adults are not online, and only 26 percent of Americans age 65 and older go online. Many of these adults are mothers and grandmothers. A simple, new technology that enables users to receive email and photos without the need for a computer or Internet connection could make the ideal Mother's Day gift.

Most grandmothers cannot get enough of their grandchildren, and are always asking for more stories and pictures. Presto makes it easy for grandma to receive notes from the grandkids and photos of Saturday's soccer game, or baby's first steps. Only those on the Presto Friends List can send to her, eliminating spam. The Presto Service converts regular email and photo attachments into Presto Mail-beautiful, easy-to-read color printouts that are a
utomatically delivered to the HP Printing Mailbox on a daily schedule, just like letters.

"My grandmother doesn't have email and is hard of hearing, so communicating with her used to be difficult. But now, Presto keeps my grandmother in the loop and she enjoys hearing about all of the little things, like when it snowed at our house or what we had for dinner. We even use it to plan get-togethers and shopping days-and she is tickled pink," said Annette Isaac, granddaughter of 93-year-old Marjorie.

Mom always appreciates flowers and candy, but maybe it's time for something new this Mother's Day. A simple way to show her how much her family loves her every day may just be the perfect gift.

"Everyone except my mother was getting email, and that made her feel left out," said Pam Stuebgen, mother and caretaker. "Now she can get email and photos from her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and she brags to her friends about it-she says it's like magic!"

A new service lets users receive email and photos without a computer or Internet connection.
