All I Want for Christmas is Positive Social Change

As you all write your Christmas wishlists, you should check out some of these world changing innovations from 2014!  (Warning: They might be a little out of your budget).

You can check out the whole list here, but some of my favorite include:

This Mind-Controlled Robotic Body Suit

Soon, wheelchairs will (hopefully) be a thing of the past.

These Cleaner Cookstoves

K2-phone

More than 4 million people die each year from health problems related to inhaling carbon monoxide or pollutants from stoves that burn wood, biomass or coal.  This cook stove reduces carbon emissions by 95% and charges your phone.

This Nanopatch

I’m sure I’m not the only one who hates shots.  This nanopatch allows for a painless and more effective vaccination.  Plus, it eliminates the need to refrigerate liquid vaccines and eliminates the health workers chance of needle stick injuries.
