‘Tongue computing’ could help disabled

 

            This article on CNN.com is about some new technology that is soon to come out in the future.  The title says it all, ‘Tongue computing’.  Basically this article is talking about some break through technology that some students at Georgia Tech have been working on.  They have been working on this technology for quiet sometime, and have finally been having a quiet a bit of breakthroughs.

 

            They have recently received over $300,000 in grants from different companies and organizations.  This is a great sign since they were able to produce enough evidence that the small computer chip that they are working on for the tongue can work in the future.  The small computer they are working on is supposed to act somewhat as a mouse for a computer.  It is very small less then a centimeter in size.  They say that it will be able to control numerous things, such as a wheelchair, a computer, TV, and pretty much anything.  This is a great idea; this will help many disabled people with this and many lazy people as well.  It will mainly be used for the disabled and I can actually see the potential for our military to use this in the near future.  This little computer chip is still in the early stages of becoming real, but with all of this hype and grants that they are receiving I am sure this will succeed and probably in the near future.

 

            In the end technology is always getting bigger and bigger, like they always say we are the technology era.  This great invention will help out numerous people if not save numerous lives in the future.  I hope they keep up the great work and can get more money to keep up the great work.
