It is simple to ignore people facing difficulties much bigger than our own when we are caught up in our own struggles and the complexities of everyday life.
Almost everyone you meet is involved in some kind of conflict, whether overt or covert. This emphasizes how important it is to always be polite and respectful in all of your encounters.
This is a sentiment that really speaks to me, especially when I interact with others who are managing life with limitations. It is about acknowledging their resilience and treating them accordingly, not about making an exception for them or encouraging sympathy.
Respect shows up in an awareness of the challenges faced by people with disabilities. Take the sight impaired, for example.
Few disabilities compare to the impact of losing one’s vision. We use our eyes to see the world; it is an instinctive feeling that we have had since birth.
It is true that some people have very poor vision, and some people are completely blind.
The world is a daunting place for people who are blind or visually impaired. But recent developments from the Australian business Tec-Innovation provide a glimmer of optimism.
Their ground-breaking invention, the InnoMake shoes, use cutting-edge sensor technology to help wearers avoid invisible impediments. These shoes include built-in sensors that, like car warning systems, vibrate or make noises to notify the wearer when they detect impediments.
According to reports, the shoes have sensors inserted into specially made slots, and they can run on a three-hour charge for up to a week.
Additionally, by syncing these shoes with smartphones, customers may adjust a range of settings, including minimum detection distance and alert preferences, to better meet their own needs.
