Oceka's choice ...

I decided to devote this article to an invention , which I find revolutionary.

 For those amputees returned to a normal life is often very difficult , they must réappprendre to live with a silicone prosthesis that serves only an aesthetic purpose , they must cross on their sensitivity and their mobility they had before the amputation . But with the progress of science and the most incredible technology today is possible.

Dennis Aabo Sorensen, a Danish 36 -year-old lost his left arm in an explosion while manipulating light fireworks . Dennis is subjected to the most revolutionary experience . Dennis could find to the sense of touch thanks to an experimental artificial prosthesis connected to the nerves of his arm. The transaction was completed in January 2013 at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome by a team of surgeons and neurologists, under the direction of Dr. Paolo Maria Rossini, who implanted electrodes in the upper left arm amputated. Nearly three weeks of tests were needed before the prosthesis could be connected to the electrodes by the team Silvestro Micera .

After that, the researchers and the patient tested by hand for a week. For these tests , the patient was blindfolded and with earplugs in my ears. It depended as well as the sense of touch, the researchers said . The electrodes were removed after one month, in accordance with the European legislation governing clinical trials . But according to these researchers , they could remain implanted and run several years without damage peripheral nerves.

The team Silvestro Micera , Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL ) in Switzerland, has developed the bionic hand with which the patient can adjust its power to grasp objects and identify their shape and texture. This prosthesis is provided with sensors capable of reacting to the tension of the artificial tendon , converting electric pulses transmitted information when the patient manipulates an object. These converted signals equivalent of nerve impulses are transmitted to the four electrodes on the peripheral nerves grafted arm .

This invention allows multiple people millliers amputees to hope one day regain sensitivity and mobility of their amputated limb . According Stanisa Raspopovic , EPFL , the commercialization of bionic hand should be possible in five years earlier and 15 years later. Mr. Raspopovic, it is difficult at this stage to estimate the price of such a prosthesis, but mass production should costs down.

Brainbow's choice of invention...

Firstly, to choose the innovative invention that I will present,  I used this website:

http://www.cfsl.net/poule-de-cristal/# (which is itself a little bit awesome )

 It's a generator of random word, idea or sentence.

 So, according to the Chick, I'm supposed to talk about Robot.

I found in the shallows of the web, this:        THE MOST USELESS MACHINE

And I found it, absolutely WONDERFUL ! 

A machine that does only one thing : Swich Off by itself. 

In my opinion, the majority of things we use every day are useless. 

I mean not necessary for survival. 

Of billion and billion are spent in advertising to sell us a whole new generation of toothbrush,

 (a tooth brush is a tooth brush, if you want beautiful teeth, you wash them, there's no secret)

Or any other technologic item less necessary but which know how to make themselves indispensable.(cellphones, gadgets ,new car or new washing machine while the previous always work., etc etc)

I think it's great to create a machine that mocks a bit of everything that being made.

Cause do not forget that the predictions of horror are numerous:

-I Robot (Robots rebelled and attack humans) 

- The simpson's episode "horror show XII" (Robotic House fall in love with marge and try to kill her husband)

-Terminator (robots took control of the Earth)

-Matrix (Machine govern all)

-Wall-e  (robot controlling the lifeboat-spaceship)

it will be terrible!

And this invention is probably the only one that will represent no danger to humanity!

K-Za on electricity...

The Electricity

For me, the best invention its electricity and I will tell you why.

To start, without electricity we can’t nothing do.
 In 1800, Italian Volta invents a battery and produce for the first time current.
 The American Thomas Edison develops in 1789 a light bulb and built the first power plant in Manhattan.

 Then, in 20’s in Paris, London, and Berlin electricity takes places in houses.
 Nowadays, we cannot imagine the life without electricity, because we need every day. 
Indeed, electricity change our life because we can have ; hot water, heating, lights, television, phone, computer with internet, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, cars, buses (necessitate battery).                                                                                            I can note move me to do without electricity.                                                                                                                              To add, electricity doesn’t pollute and it’s a renewable energy; photovoltaic panels, Aeolian…

Happy French mother's day!

Forest loves a ride...

Today, I will speak about the invention which I find brilliant. 

So, it can be very stupid but in my opinion BUS are a very very good invention.

 Indeed, it's very practical if you don't have car (or if you don't want it), or if you want to go to school (I'm sure that you want to go to school Mouahahah ) when you don't have your driving licence.

 

It's not very expensive, for example in B., a ticket costs 1,30 €.

 

You can go where you want and you're sure to be on time for your appointment.

 

You can meet other people who take Bus, you can speak with them and become best friend for ever ( Today it's really rare because people are plugged in their mobile phone… it's so shame I find..), or you can meet people who smell so bad and have a hysterical laughter with your friend (although it's very horrible OMG). 

When you take Bus, you protect environment because there are less pollution as if everybody take his car, you save up because you pay for example 120€ for one year while you take your car you pay 120€ for two months. 

To conclude, I think bus are a very good invention because it's very practical for people who have no choice to take the bus because they don't have car, it's better for environment ( I think in B. bus run with natural gas) and for your wallet !

Nomika's article...

Hi everyone !

            When we were told about our new article topic, I honestly couldn't think of any invention that I find really essential. 

Then I thought about music.

 I know, or at least I think that this is not the first thing we think about when we have to talk about an invention. 

I just can't think of a real item, and choosing a single instrument would be hard too ! 

So I will talk about music in general.

            If I couldn't play or listen to music anymore, I'm sure life would be so boring ! ...

 It's true, I'm almost always listening to something (except maybe while I'm sleeping).

 I believe musics and songs can inspire us for many things, even in our everyday life, maybe should I say «  especially » in everyday life. 

Whether we're sad or happy, whether we spent a good or a bad day, listening to a song that we love can make us a bit happier, or bring back the good memories of the day. 

Moreover, music can draw people closer to each other (well it can also divide them when people hate what others listen to, but let's not talk about that, haha).

            My opinion may seem quite cheesy to some of you ...

Nevertheless, I can definitely say that if music didn't exist, somebody would have to create it !

            And you, what do you think ? :)

Bobbie's favourite invention...doesn't exist yet!

This is THE invention of the moment!


It's like a car, you can go everywhere you want to!
You want to go to Bourges?
You can, or to Bordeaux or to Paris? You can!
And you can even go in 1953 or in 2075

The only problem is .... it doesn't exist yet...


What about going in space for only 250 000$ ?

This invention can allow people to go in space to admire the Earth from 18.5 miles (30 kilometres).

You're in a space capsule, linked to a balloon full of helium. You can stay 2 hours in space, then you have to go back on Earth.

It could be a nice experience, moreover it could be interesting.... if you're rich... (I'd like to but I'm not ^^)


More seriously, I think that the greatest invention is the toaster, the automatic electric toaster is a revolutionary device! 

What is better than having hot and crispy bread with some butter and jam, with some coffee and orange juice for the breakfast?

I think that this is the best moment of my day.

A really good and fresh toasted bread, yummy!

In my opinion this is a really ingenious invention... yes it is!

I hope you enjoyed my article!

[what about this one? Mrs P.]
