We can get so wrapped up in our own problems and the everyday challenges we face that we forget some people have it much tougher than we do.
Almost everyone you meet is dealing with some kind of struggle. Some are visible, while others are hidden. That’s why it’s important to always be kind and treat everyone with respect.
This is especially true when interacting with people who have disabilities. They don’t need special treatment or pity; they are often inspiring figures and deserve to be treated as such.
One way to show respect is by understanding the challenges faced by people with disabilities. For example, think about the visually impaired.
Losing sight would dramatically impact life. Our eyes help us understand the world, and without them, we lose a sense that most of us have relied on since birth.
Some people have very poor vision or are completely blind. For them, getting around can be much harder. That’s why a new invention by the Australian company Tec-Innovation could make a big difference.
They’ve created shoes called InnoMake that use advanced sensors to help the wearer avoid obstacles they can’t see. These shoes have sensors that vibrate or make noise when they detect something in the way, similar to car sensors that beep to warn of a collision.
According to their YouTube channel, the shoes have special slots for the sensors, which last up to a week on a full three-hour charge.
The shoes can also connect to a smartphone, allowing users to customize settings like alert preferences and the minimum distance for detection.
