Technology

Technology in this century moves faster than any other time I can read about or remember. Nearly every aspect of our lives can be online. These tools are imperative for low functioning people with disabilities. Talking displays are like giving sight to the blind. Before this technology maybe one person could understand this person. One person could take care of them. Now they are able to speak to anybody and join in conversation. It's amazing what human interaction can do for the mental health of individuals. I think we all learned that during the pandemic. We need each other and the more we are able to connect the happier we are. These are the machines that help make that possible.
