1.A friend from my old school used hearing aids and she wished that it wasn't as clunky and noticeable as she would hope because it becomes very distracting and easily seen. The design of around the ear to make it seem more real is very assistive and I think she would like something more on that side of things.
2. I have never seen someone with a tongue driver but for people in wheelchairs, this seems like something very handy. One of the directors at beaver is in a wheelchair and this could easily solve many problems she has.
3. I have never really seen a chair like that in my life and personally, I wouldn't probably sit in one. It is a very cool and innovative idea that can help many people. One student in Beaver is creating an arm sleeve that can help strengthen the arm through jolts. This seems similar to the exoskeleton idea.
4. The huggable chair isn't something I normally see anyone using in my life including me. It seems very inviting and comfy. My late great-grandmother had something similar to that chair for her back and it helped her easily get up without damaging her back.
5. This idea is something I have never seen and is very unique. I think this is great to keep in touch and see when people are doing things. It also makes you feel less lonely or together when working and seeing the other machines go on. Knowing your not the only one doing it can help to relieve stress which this seems perfect for.
6. No one in my life has had many physical problems with limbs or has had a disability. This idea can make it more inviting to use the tools to help your body. I like the idea and it seems more fashionable.
Suprised me
1. The complex and unique ideas of all the creations and how they were put into the real world
2.How everything is assistive I didn't really look at it that way until reading this.
3.People should be paying more attention to disabilities and these devices helped me see that.
4.We are all the same and we all get help in some sort of way and these devices can help bring others together.
Disagreed with
1.I think that the chair on the wall when walking on the streets is something that I personally think isn't necessary. Although some may disagree and may think it is useful I feel like it would be weird to stop and sit in an awkward position as others walked past.
Favorite Device.
1.I personally was a big fan of the huggable chair. It seems very comfortable and easy to relax in.
