Enhancements in technology may have the potential to render books and records unnecessary baggage, bringing a shiver to the spine of bookshelf lovers everywhere, but with the trend in converting the digital to the physical showing no signs of slowing down, we may just rediscover new life in the old furniture yet. We've recently seen Vines converted into flip books with Vine Flip, hand powered devices like Vinelodeon, and we've also seen Gifpop bring GIFs to life using  lenticular printing.

Now two French entrepreneurs have created an online service that documents your text conversation and prints it onto a good old-fashioned physical scroll called Tx.to. As well as giving you the opportunity to re-read these exchanges in a physical format, the Tx.to service also offers users a chance to gain some insight into their text relationship. The Tx.to cloud will safely store messages, and using your data, you can research statistics on the history of your conversation with your partner; picking out things like the most used words or periods of highest activity.

Not only is it a nice way to re-contextualise your personal history with a partner, it also suggests that perhaps physicality is still necessary to achieve maximum sentimental levels.
