 * CCT333 Tutorial 6 Wiki Question:**

1) **Echolocation** Sonar-Enabled Cane  I love this concept because I think it will ultimately revolutionize the way seeing impaired people live. It increases standard of living in those cases and can improve their senses. The design looks natural and sleek. The buttons look conveniently placed and in an easy to access spot. As it looks, it has a light weight aspect to it for easy mobility.

2) **Stanch the Bleeding** Self-Healing Pipelines What I like about this product is the erasability that it creates for the consumer. The overall design is just something basic you put in the pipes. However, the compound that is mixed to create this is quite ingenious. It is a great invention because it will save countless hours trying to patch the problem manually. Save a lot of money not replacing bad parts. And it will increase efficiency by not having anything leak.

===3) **Keeping the Bugs Out** Antibacterial Film === This new product could potentially change everything about staying healthy. Since the film prevents infection without helping to create superstrains of harmful bacteria this will help people to avoid getting sick or infected. The idea to avoid letting bacteria in your eye is a no brainer, however coming up with a compound like seaweed to prevent this is an amazing discovery. Not to mention my favourite part, the design incorporated into a contact lens!
