Best Udemy Courses for New Programmers
For the most part, web development, coding, and computer science as a whole require some of the most sought-after skillsets in today's rapidly evolving tech climate. But while demand might be higher than ever before, there is still a deficit of talented coders and computer technicians out there. This goes for both full time employees and freelancers looking to make some extra cash.

Bone Conductive Headphones for the Hard of Hearing
When I first got a hearing aid at the age of 24, one of my first concerns was how I would be able to listen to music. I couldn't use in-ear headphones, because one ear is currently occupied by assistive technology. I couldn't use on-the-ear headphones because the hearing aid couldn't pick up the sound and I couldn't hear the music in one ear. I couldn't use over-the-ear headphones (earmuffs) because they caused a ton of feedback or muffled my hearing in my ear.

Jaco
Jaco is a revolutionary concept for quadriplegic independence. Jaco is made by Kinova which is a leader in industrial robotics. Jaco is a robotic arm that is attached to the wheelchair and is controlled by your wheelchair’s joystick. Jaco can help with everyday tasks such as feeding, drinking, and grabbing things. Could you imagine not running out of food or drink before the next personal assistant arrives?… well, that’s what Jaco is there for. Jaco is made of weather resistant carbon fiber that is a lightweight material; carbon fiber is also incredibly durable. Jaco is capable of 16 different movements. Jaco comes in two versions, two fingers or three. The three finger one has a thumb and is fully functional to assist in activities such as eating and drinking. Jaco easily replaces those very expensive aids that are just there to feed you. Jaco also has rubber grips on his fingers, too, make gripping objects easier. This is a new concept that is an important advancement part of physically restricted quadriplegics in reaching their full potential. The heartbreaking thing about this technology is the price tag makes it practically impossible for the average person to be able to afford. My hope is that something with this technology will be available and accessible to all types of people with disabilities. People with disabilities will probably always have some form of physical help from another human being, but technology like this can reduce the strain during caregiver’s absence. Truthfully it is my dream to have a fully automatic robotic personal care assistant. I often find caregivers intrusive. Given the flaws of the private sector, I feel that robotic care maybe a viable direction for some of us. I hope to find some sort of funding for this vital piece of equipment.
