New Kitchen Gadget for One-Armed People

10/10/2016 11:04 AM

What impresses me about this story is that a university student designed the gadget for people who have only one arm, whether due to amputation or a stroke. I've read that Millennials have a strong interest in service to others; this invention could be a piece of evidence that demonstrates this interest. Students who are looking for a project might take this student's approach and focus on an underserved population.

I'm going to call foul on the picture.

Will also be great for those people who are afraid to let go of their mobile phone.

I give up. What-the-heck is "Mashable"? What's the "story"? All I get is a page full of links on the left side, NONE of which are "allowed" by our "Safe-web-filter"...

Bummer! Try these links or search for "Loren Lim" and "Oneware":

http://www.did.nus.edu.sg/gradshows/2016/19_loren.html; http://www.core77.com/posts/56684/

Mashable in its own words:

Mashable is a global, multi-platform media and entertainment company. Powered by its own proprietary technology, Mashable is the go-to source for tech, digital culture and entertainment content for its dedicated and influential audience around the globe.

Content is aimed at millennials; I monitor it to get a different perspective

"Ahhhhh" ... (!) and . . . "hmmmm" . . .

Opportunity for a 1st : strategically-placed "Subset" [over there,⇒ at top]

... Can you see it...?

Or , is there already a well-established place for engineers, retired engineers, and wanna-be engineers, to help in every way possible, all of the Bethanys, Nick Vujicics and other deserving inspirational souls out there...? {2 links needed for Nick!^}
