This has been a week full of not-so-good news (you know what I’m talking about). So, I’m here to cheer you up and take your mind off so many sad & seemingly impending things. Smart shoes for the blind, remote coaching for parents, customized chopsticks, taking exams using blink-technology, and so much more.
