Good Morning . . . and Advancement in Technology

Good morning students – As you can see I'm not there today (I'm working on school business at another location).  You are required to make good use of your time even when I’m not there.  I’ll be online working today so if you have questions email or send me an iGoogle message at janice.lang@bedford.k12.mi.us.   If you finish your project you may begin the blog assignment below.  This blog assignment isn’t to be started until your research project is 100% finished.  I’ll see you on Tuesday. 
Advancement in Technology – helps save lives. 
Advancements in technology most often come about as people try to solve specific problems.  The problem – millions of babies in 3rd world countries die each year due to being too cold in the first few months of life.  Engineering students around the country were given the task to design a portable incubator that would be low cost to manufacture and low cost to maintain.  Follow the progress.  Select the first link and read the article and watch the video.

    I think that this is a great thing that people are doing for babies. It will give more babies a chance to grow up and have a life.

    I love this idea of being able to help premature infants in third world countries. I understand how important these incubaters are. I spent the first month of my life in one. I probably wouldn't of survived if it weren't for that incubatater. I think it's a good cheap plan.

    Incubators made from old car parts was a great idea to save babies from third world countries. Anything that can save babies around the world is worth inventing to save lives.
