This digital newspaper box (yes, it’s glowing) is a personal project of Scott Walker, an associate editor at The Birmingham News. It delivers headlines, sights and sounds to his living room thanks to an Mac Mini and a few hours of work.
Maybe not the future, but it definitely says something about how we get our news nowadays. Maybe we could do that someday ourselves 
.

As he says,

this is a very creative idea and i love the fact it originated here in Birmingham. This is only the beginning of Birminghams creativity.

And now that I’ve read that, I really want one. Or an old newsbox, like the aforementioned. Because I think that’s cool.
