What Technology Can Do

It’s amazing what technology can do especially to helpĀ  disabled individuals.

I just watched a mini-movie put on by Swag Bucks about a disabled woman named Hilary. The title of the movie is Hilary’s Straws.

Hilary and her dad put together some technology which enables her to do things around her house that you and I take for granted. Using this method she was also able to sail across (I think it was the English Channel) using the straws to control the sailboat. Wow, amazing!!

A must see. You can find it on http://www.swagbucks.com.
