5 days ago: This is wonderful. Many have talked about it and Pranav has managed to make a working concept. All it needs is more R&D and the project will take off.
I wonder how the multi-billion dollar hardware industry is going to take this? This project could put them out of business in a matter of time.
There is much potential in so many different applications of our daily life. We are in for a paradigm shift. Are we ready for it?
Nov 7 2009: Evelyn, in her passion to 'hear' music, she has managed to fight for the rights of every living individual irrespective of their dis-capabilities.
She has mastered the art of compensating her four senses to make up for the loss of one. It also teaches us (with five senses) that we have taken for granted our senses and lost or forgotten its capacity. I guess we have become immune to it. Evelyn, thank you for reminding us to LISTEN again.
Nov 7 2009: Communication existed since the dawn of time, even before the invention of mobile phones, IM, Facebook, etc. If that is so, how can it compliment and cultivate intimacy in this era? It seems to cultivate an INTIMATE relationship with your IM, Facebook, computer and other communication technology. Where is the humanistic value in that?
I beg to defer with Stefana. Communication tech has become another BARRIER towards intimacy and social behavior. I rather rate it as a faster means of passing a message from the source to the receiver.
Nov 7 2009: Child prodigy in all its sense. Sirena and other children like her should be given the space and opportunity to broaden their horizons. The sky is the limit. Why then do we limit them with inferior education systems that stunt their potentials? I wonder why there aren't other Serina's around? Think out of the box!
