Every year, many inventions are introduced to the world. Some help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or more fun. Here are four of last year's best inventions.
LUMI was designed for music lovers. “We hope that LUMI can help people who have just started learning how to play music,” says the inventor Will MacNamara. The small Eumi keyboard lights up, allowing users to know which keys to press. And with the LUMI app, users can learn their favorite songs.
Millions of people around the world have to face the problem of unsafe food. Marc Oshima says his indoor farming technology can help. Instead of growing in dirt, crops grow in reusable cloth. The plants are watered with mist. This requires 95% less water than field farming.
For people who are blind, the ORCAM MYEYE 2 could be a game changer. It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties. Described as “talking glasses”, it can read text aloud. Amnon Shashua invented the technology.
Christine Schindler is an engineer. She wanted to help stop the spread of foodborne illnesses, so she created PATHSPOT. It uses light to scan（扫描）a person's hands for harmful germs. Restaurant workers hold their hands under the scanner. Then the scanner decides whether they should be rewashed.

Living in small communities, we know just about everyone.We greet the postal workers by name when they drop off the daily mail with a smile. Our child’s teacher is likely someone we went to school with if we grew up in the area, and we can usually count on seeing familiar faces at every community event.Each and every interaction forms the tight-knit weave(编织)of a community that shares so much, built from hundreds of small moments that happen every day.
People all have their reasons for choosing to live in such a community, but they usually agree on one thing when they come together-they are grateful to be here. People say that the key ingredient to a strong community is taking part in every event of the community actively. That is really true-a community is no community at all without real relationship, and those bonds can only be built through engagement（参与）.
As a part of a strong community, everyone is an important part in a group of people who want to help each other succeed and celebrate each success, as well as helping each other through challenges and sorrow. It’s important for every person to bring an only but special gift to the community. You should feel thankful if you ever found a community where the neighbors know and look out for one another because these days, many communities are built on “commuter relationships”.
Having moved well over a dozen times, the healthiest, strongest communities are the ones that welcome visitors and are willing to share their stories. The sharing contains so much from the stories that shaped the community today through their art, music, volunteerism, festivals and fundraisers(募集活动). One may be thankful on a daily basis to live and work in a community that is so strong and thank those that have been willing to share their stories. These are the moments that shape the community that we will pass on to the next generation.
