"It came out of the blue,"
Loved ones in the harmony of life....no energy is wasted....Blake and Ryan Leitch have been invited to meet the mentor teacher...Stephen Hawking .....Blake, 13, and Ryan, 15, suffer from congenital spinal muscular atrophy...both wheel chair bound with significant disabilities.... They got the invite after they were most active in participating in the development of a new healing device....a laser for those with profound communication impairments...this New Zealand invention allows them to use a laser headset or hand unit to select keys on a specially designed keyboard, cutting out the physical demands of entering keystrokes and allowing them to use a form of shorthand.
"It's just huge, it's a whole new world for them and for the family."
Inventor Mike Watling is a technician at Watercare Services,… Realize Technology took over development of the keyboard in 2002 and it will be officially launched today.
Mr Watling said stroke victims could use it, people with arthritis or just about anyone whose ability to physically cope with an ordinary keyboard was impaired. "I think there's a tremendous future for it." Loved ones include all these gentleman and all their loved ones in your prayers and petitions....oh yes...it is ok for me to share this with you... Stephen Hawkings is himself an ultra terrestrial or avatar.
