My Grand Challenge Project is Assistive Technology. We have so much technology that is:
- luxury
- unnecessary
- expensive
- making our lives less fulfilling
We need to focus more on technology that helps those that NEED technology to live a normal life. Instead, we use technology to separate the social classes. Better technology aids will help those who can't:
- walk
- see
- hear
- eat
- talk

I chose Disaster Predictions because we still can't predict a tornado, earthquake or volcanic eruption. It takes all our technological resources such as satellites and different communications to give each other a few seconds or minutes warning. That's just for the richer countries in the world, it's almost impossible to prepare
or predict in a developing country. Natural disasters affect everyone. No one is safe from one on this planet. Even though we are better prepared today than let's say 30 or even 5 years ago, we have a long way to go. Unfortunately, it seems we will see the technology that can predict a disaster go live but I know our grandkids will
be much safer. They will be able to experience less natural turmoil and have one less worry in their lives. It's amazing what Natural Hazards Earth Systems Science
and QuakeFinder are doing, sometimes without government aid. With these and other similar organizations, I know we can reach our goal of predicting disasters. It's hard to predict because no two disasters are ever the same.
