Technology is advancing rapidly these days, and while many of us are able to keep up with the emerging trends and evolving technical language, there are those among us who are simply unable to understand or operate any piece of technology more advanced than the television remote in their living room.

I recently noticed that my office happens to have one of these people. This man was attempting to operate the idiot proof shredder we have at my office, but somehow, someway, despite the simplistic nature of the machine, this man failed at using it to shred his documents. Consequently, the man was forced to shred his stack of papers manually.

I’m not sure why I didn’t bother to help him at the time, but I wound up feeling rather bad about it later that day, so I decided I would attempt to help him in some way. After a bit of research, I found what can only be described as the absolute perfect gift for this technologically challenged person; the Think Tank Hand Crank Paper Shredder.

I am fairly certain that my co-worker will have no problems operating this piece of machinery in the future since the only advertised requirements for use of this machine are “paper” and “hand with opposable thumb”. At a mere $3.99 I actually can’t think of a better x-mas present for my other co-workers, so I may just order ten.

Did you loose your stapler…again? Well don’t worry you don’t need it anymore. This Paper StichLock-Wanko actually “stitches” together up to 4 sheets of paper, and is environmentally friendly as it eliminates the need for the stack of staples piled up in your desk drawer. It doesn’t have quite as much binding power as the traditional stapler, but it’s easier to track down in case someone “borrows” it.
