If you understood
nothing of the video, worry not! Not everyone speaks, writes or/and understands
German, I’m included; but by the end of this article, you will have a brief
idea of what this video is about if you haven’t yet known. And NO, although
what the man’s holding in his hand appears to be an advanced version of a
thermometer, it’s got nothing to do with it.
So imagine this: A
student is seated in classroom and his teacher says ‘write pen’ and instead he
writes ‘p-i-n’; the teacher peers down at him from over her spectacles and nods
left-to-right to show her sign of disapproval
‘you are wrong and terribly …’
How very intimidating …
but what if there was something that could tell you on spot about the error and
save you from stares and ridicule? Thanks to Lernstift, a German company, that ‘something’
is here!
‘Lernstift
has designed a vibrating pen called the Lernstift Pen. This pen is capable of
picking up errors in spelling or letter formation in real-time, delivering a
warning vibration to the writer's hand. Users have the option to choose between
two functions: Calligraphy Mode – pointing out flaws of form and legibility -
or Orthography Mode – detecting orthographic and grammatical mistakes. Sensors
built into the pen detect variations in the way letters are formed and buzz
immediately if an error is spotted.’
Put in
simpler words, if you were using the Lernstift pen and wrote ‘pen’ as ‘p-i-n’, the
pen would vibrate to tell you ‘check mate’. Now that sounds pretty cool, huh?! I’m
off to read more on this brilliant development: http://www.lernstift.com; http://www.facebook.com/lernstift Fancy that!
