Inventors are always at work, dreaming up new technologies. Some inventions help us solve problems. Others make
life easier, or more fun. Here, TIME for Kids (TFK) presents three 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, such as E. coli. Restaurant employees hold their hands beneath the
scanner. Then the scanner evaluates whether they must be rewashed. Some popular restaurants have started using the product
since it was launched in May, including some Chopt and Pokéworks ones.
Talking Eyes
For people who are blind or have other visual impairments, the OrCam MyEye 2 could be a game changer. It might
also be useful to people with reading difficulties, such as dyslexia. 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.
Sports Safety
Research shows that playing football increases the risk of brain injury. Still, about a million kids under the age of 13
play football, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. The VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH football helmet can help
keep kids safe. It has thick support on the front and sides, where kids are likely to take the hardest hits on the field. Players
in 1,500 youth teams have worn the helmet.
