New Gadgets

On Wednesday of this week I got my new gadgets. It is pretty cool to know that there is technology available to people who have Usher's or even blind or hearing impaired.

Before this technology I would be doing laundry in the bathroom and not be able to hear anybody knocking on the door. Now I have a doorbell. Push the top button and it makes an abnormally loud chime. Push the bottom button and it makes this black box on my belt vibrate. Now I know when people are at my door. The cool thing is that at night when I go to bed I charge this black box so if anyone rings the doorbell my bed will vibrate!

I also got a new smoke alarm! When that goes off either the black box or my bed will vibrate depending on the time of the day. I also got a little sound monitor so that when B goes to bed I turn on this black box and put in her room. If she wakes up in the middle of the night it will wake me up.

The only other thing I got was a new timer. It flashes light and vibrates in my pocket. So now I have quite a few vibrators and none of them very enjoyable! LOL! But if they help me I guess I can live with them.
