Question of the Week: Due 9/12/08 before 5:00 PM.

Background:
Computers help the disabled in many ways. There are programs and computers to help sight impaired, see this link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080508174310.htm

For those without use of hands and arms, there are ways of controlling computers with one's tongue or eyes. See these links:

Question of the Week:
Do some further research for this question. I have started you with a few ideas above. The question is: How do you see computer technology developing to help the disabled in the next one to five years? If you were an engineer, what new computer gadget would you try to design?
