Technology has been a huge help to many disabled people. New ideas in the pipeline are using high-end math to create ways for more human-computer interaction.

move in a straight line.The same algorithmcould also be plugged into a car’s electronics to help steer the car in accordance with the driver’s wishes. For example, if you’re driving in a straight line down a road but suddenly slip on a patch of ice, the algo- rithm may be able to help the car correct its path and return it as soon as possible to its intended straight-line path. Science andmath lay the foundation; engineering and technology turn ideas into realities. Together, in the world of information technology, those realities are changing the world. Who knows what might happen next?
