Problems solved by technology

It is difficult to hold a tissue dispenser box stationary in a moving vehicle with the tissues within reach of the driver.
There may be no convenient surface near the use upon which the tissue dispenser may be placed.
A drawback of this approach is that there may not be an available and appropriate surface on which to mount this traditional sized tissue dispenser.
Once again, a drawback of this approach is that there may not be an available and appropriate surface on which to mount this traditional sized tissue dispenser.
Also, smaller packages that dispense tissues, that can be carried in a purse or the like, typically come in a rectangular soft package that may be difficult to use and store.
