- www.mycelery.com – A service called Celery allows people to exchange emails (and even participate on Twitter and Facebook) without a computer or internet access. All that’s needed is a fax machine.

Perfect for communicating with parents/grandparents who simply have no interest in learning how to use the internet or email. (And yep, there are still plenty of those out there.) Celery can even receive and print HTML-based emails as well as .jpgs, .gifs, .pngs, etc. Check out this short news segment on an 87-year old Grandma Twittering with paper-and-pen using just her fax machine: http://tinyurl.com/yaa32qu.
