New Technology

Advancement in Technology – helps save lives. 
Advancements in technology most often come about as people try to solve specific problems.  The problem – millions of babies in 3rd world countries die each year due to being too cold in the first few months of life.  Engineering students around the country were given the task to design a portable incubator that would be low cost to manufacture and low cost to maintain.  Follow the progress.  Select the first link and read the article and watch the video.

  1. I think that these incubators are a very smart idea. These incubators are going to be able to save many lives of children that without them wouldn’t be able to survive. I hope that these go into production soon so the 3rd world countries will be able to buy cheap incubators and help save millions of babies.

  2. I think that incubators are a very good idea. I believe that they have shown us a way to help babies that are in a cold environment. These will save so many lives. So many lives are being lost from this incredibly ridiculous reason of being cold, and this is a very good way to lessen the amount of lives that are being taken. I hope that these new technology incubators are going to be put to use in 3rd world countries soon.
