I
found this article to be very exciting in terms of technological advancements
this century! "Michigan Technological University Senior Design team has
devised a sensor that tells you when it’s time to seek shelter, long before
your skin gets red and tender." It's the size of a nickel. It has
a smiley face on it, and when it vanishes you need to get out of the sun. This
is just so amazing! This has the potential to stop a venue of skin cancer right
in its tracks! No longer will tourists be bombarded with requests to by
confusing sun screen (I’m not even going to go into the variable spf scale
those brats have devised to confuse the consumer). It received " Best
Overall Award in the Invention Disclosure Competition at Michigan Tech’s
2013 Undergraduate Expo." The best part about it is how cheap it is to
make. The prototype costs about 13 cents each. This is amazing! I can't express
fully in words how cool this is. It's like inventing the toaster oven all over
again!
