How wonderful is the human brain, to come up with unusual and quirky ideas that make our lives more convenient. Every day, rather every hour something new is being thought about and being converted into reality in some or the other part of the world. And it is this never ending race for innovation that makes people come up with fun and useful devices. Be it a pee repellent wall paint, skirts with lights, prescription swimming goggles, self-lacing shoes, shoes with flexible and changeable display, toilet seat with music player, mosquito repellent bracelets or self-driven cars.
We have entered an era in human evolution where anything seems possible and is being made possible even if some might think these to be useless or overtly exaggerated pieces of technology.
But some of them do have wonderful usage and have in fact in a great way helped ease lives of millions. Two such products are Prescription Swimming Goggles and Mosquito Repellent Bracelets.
Let’s talk about Prescription Swimming Goggles first. These are your regular swimming glasses but with a twist. The twist in the story lies in the lenses used in these goggles. No, they don’t light up or let you see through people. Well that could have been interesting. Rather these lenses let people with glasses to swim with clear vision without the need to wear their glasses. These goggles come fitted with ready-made spherical prescription lenses with varying strengths known as diopters or step diopters. With negative diopters, which are most common, fitted for near sighted or myopic vision. And the positive diopters letting farsighted people see clearly underwater.
However these prescription swimming goggles might not be as precise as your regular reading glasses but are more affordable and easily available. Some popular brands that manufacture them are AquaLung, AquaSee, Cressi, Gator, Hilco and Zoggs. But you can also make it at home by following instructions given on instructables.com.
Mosquito Repellent Bracelets are another interesting innovation. They are way better option than lotions and spray we use already to fight the mosquito menace. But we can’t spray the whole world, neither can we have lotions applied at all times.so what does one do when one has to travel? Answer is these handy and easy to use bracelets. Just strap them on your ankle or wrap it around your wrist and you are good to go wherever you want, whenever you want, without worrying about any mosquitos biting you. They are said to create an invisible halo of protection around the person who wears it thus keeping mosquitos at bay.
