"The wearable tech revolution is in full swing and this ring is the latest in wearable innovations. This ring will scan the words on the page in front of it and read them aloud for the wearer" (TrendHunter Tech). The process is quite simple. The FingerReader scans a line in front of the reader's finger, where the scanned line is then read out loud. When the ring is finished reading a line, it alerts the reader to move to the next line. This topic helps tie in to Biology, due to it intertwining with sight impairment, which is caused by defects in genes and chromosomes, as well as English, where this advance helps individuals read and interpret a book.Day by day, as technology becomes more detail-oriented and helps citizens of all kinds, I become awestruck at how innovations help perfect the world in every way they can. It is very difficult for someone who is blind to associate with their peers in a discussion over a book that hasn't been published in braille yet. One of my friends is blind, and that is one of the main obstacles that helps lose her confidence and wears her down. I would feel absolutely horrific if I couldn't read very famous and my favorite books simply because I am blind. This invention takes reading to a whole, new level. Although it is quite slow and chops many words, it's a start. I am sure it will advance and perfect over time. It's a step for people to not feel like they are outcasts. Intrigued by such a device, I hope everyone with sight impairment is knowledgeable about this contraption because it is definitely something to take into consideration.
