Inventors are always at work, dreaming up new technologies.Some inventions help us solve problems.Others make life easier, or more fun.Here, TFK (Time for Kids) presents 3 of our favorite inventions.See how they make us live a better life.
Stopping Sickness
Christine Schindler is an engineer.She wanted to help stop the spread of foodborne illnesses.So she created PATHSPOT.It uses light to scan a person's hands for harmful germs.Restaurant employees hold their hands beneath the scanner.Then the scanner judges whether they must be rewashed.About 100 locations have started using the product since it launched in May.
Talking Eyes
For people who are blind or have other visual problems, the ORCAM MYEYE 2 could be a game changer.It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties.Described as “talking glasses”, this AI device can be attached to any eyeglass frame.It can identify faces.It can also read text aloud.Fitting all this power into such a small device is like “putting an elephant in a small closet”, says Amnon Shashua, the inventor of the technology.Now the device can be bought online.
