Indeed, the scanner allows you to save hours on that report of homework assignment by simply scanning the relevant passage of information straight into the computer; save money on that passport photo by simply scanning your face into the computer and sending it off; and taunt burglars by leaving scanned images of your most valuable possessions strewn around the perimeters of your house (although we only recommend this if you have Fort Knox-style security, or have a penchant for insurance scams). In short, the scanner is a vital piece of contemporary technology, with an undoubted capacity to coaxe maturity out of all of us. Gooshing's reviews of hundreds of different scanners gets you the best price on your model of choice, while our meticulous scanner reviews bring you the ethical implications of each particular model.

The range of creative possibilities opened up by the advent of the scanner can tempt us into taking ever greater numbers of photos, the consequent disposal of many of these otherwise unnecessarily captured images only exacerbating the planet's current waste problems.
