A few weeks ago I wrote about the advent of cheap camera based book scanners.
Well, I was in our local post office this morning collecting a package, and guess what, they had one of these fixed focal length scanners setup on the counter.
Our post office does document and id checks and processes all sorts of official business as well as the mail, so it makes sense - when I noticed the device one of the clerks was in the middle of scanning someone's drivers licence in connection with their passport renewal.
Interesting to see how the pandemic has made even the business of government increasingly digital ...
