As advancements in technology are made, communication barriers will continue to dissolve. Because communication – a form of human connection – “is the key to personal and career success,” according to Paul J. Meyer, this is positive news.

University of Washington sophomores Thomas Pryor and Navid Azodi demonstrate their "SignAloud" glove, which converts American Sign Language into written and spoken text. The invention won a 2016 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize.
