After the guest speaker on Thursday talked about trying to figure out a way to help the blind I got very interesting and checked the web for some articles about what other technology is out that. I found an article about a product named BrainPort. This device sends signals into the person tongue if you can belive that. The article shows a good example of how tecnology can be used to help the blind.

Yeah! That's so cool. I bet soon they'll come out with technology that can help coma victims communicate with the people around them, which would be fantastic. I was looking up information on stroke victims and their different ways in which they can communicate with their loved ones, and I think it's so great that people are looking for more ways for these people to still keep in touch with the world.
