Innovation
Bionic plants
These bionic plants have carbon-nanotube-based nanoparticles in their leaves that give off infrared light and are sensitive to the presence of nitroaromatics, and key components of several explosives.
This innovation can impact anyone since it can detect explosives, these plants are able to even save a life whether it's human life or wild life.

Internet Innovations
"The internet changes the world"
E-commerce
Electronic commerce is how we buy things online.
The launch of amazon and ebay was in 1995. The two sites would come to define the web in the 1990's and continue to be leading sellers of goods online. Because of electronic commerce, whatever you can buy in a store, you can buy online. This impacts tons of different people in many ways. For example if you're too lazy to go all the way to the nearest best buy you can just order something online. Problems that this innovation solves everyday is that now with just a few clicks, we can not only find the best prices for travel, but also book our flight, hotel room, or renter car without any complications. I really like this innovation because when I am in need of items e-commerce has made life so much easier.

Augmented-Reality Helmet Could Give Cyclists Extra Eyes on the Road

This helmet gives cyclists a 360 degree view of the road. Cars have a rear view mirror, and now cyclists will be able to ride a bike and they can have the same feature that the car has but instead with the helmet. In addition, the helmet has a GPS navigator.
This helmet can impact anyone, even people who don't ride bikes.
This innovation will solve the problems that cyclists face on the road. It will help prevent accidents.

Computer Science Innovation
Automated screening for childhood communication disorders
This computer system could help identify subtle speech, language disorders in time for early intervention. The system analyzes audio recordings of children’s performances on a standardized storytelling test, in which they are presented with a series of images and an accompanying narrative, and then asked to retell the story in their own words.
This will obviously impact children with speech disabilities.
I really like that this innovation was created, it is nice that now children might be saved from these disabilities.
A new computer system can automatically screen young children for speech and language disorders and, potentially, even provide specific diagnoses.

Send Passwords Securely Through Your Body Instead of Wi-Fi

So instead if relying on blue tooth signals, researchers have developed a system that uses the human body to securely transmit passwords. They have found a way to send the signal from a fingerprint scanner or touch pad through the body to a receiving device that is also in contact with the user. Since they are on-body transmissions they offer a more secure option than passwords. 
This will impact anyone who is very insecure about their business being invaded by others.
It will solve security and distance problems.
I think this innovation is cool and would like to try it myself.

EQ-Radio
The EQ-radio is a device that detects a person's emotions using wireless signals by measuring subtle changes in breathing and heart rhythms, EQ-Radio is 87 percent accurate at detecting if a person is excited, happy, angry or sad. 
This could impact anyone for now we would know how a person really feels without us having to ask.
Possible problems that it could solve is figuring out if a person has anxiety, or depression, or post traumatic disorder.
I like this innovation and would like to try it on my self to see if it really works and to try it on my friends.

Computer Science Innovations

A. Electric Bus can travel 350 miles on a single charge. It is able to complete a full day's work without needing to be recharged. 

B. I think this innovation will impact travelers and bus drivers.

C. I think it will solve the problem of wasting gasoline.

D. I think this innovation is cool and hopefully the next step would be a car.

Perfect Memory Camera

This is a wearable camera that allows you to capture moments that you might have missed. It is a 12 mega-pixel device that's pocket size and light-weight. With a tap of its touch screen, it can record video, audio, and is capable of full-high definition 1080p video. 
This can impact anyone whether they have an interesting life or not.
Problems it may solve could be like something really exciting, or important could happen for instance and you probably wanted to save and cherish that moment and with the perfect memory camera you won't miss a thing. Also in case you were the victim of a crime now you have all the evidence on one camera.
I really like this innovation and would like to have it for myself because there are so many moments in my life that I wish I could rewind.
