With the current ongoing pandemic having affected everyone’s lives one way or another, it has become even more of a challenge to resume everyday life without at least some changes. People are being extra careful with precautions to protect themselves and those around them from contracting the virus. This has brought about some innovations that have certainly never been thought off before but that can help make this pandemic manageable.
Here are three of the best ideas that have caught our interest.
1- Innovative Home Deliveries
Since many countries are under a very tightly governed lockdown, more businesses have moved to a more online presence. This means that more products are available online than ever before so that customers can still get their favorite items, food, and generally anything they need without having to venture outside. One innovative idea that has been found in some cities also ensures that deliveries are as safe as possible by using technology to deliver the products ordered to their customer’s doorstep. This is done using a delivery robot. These robots were created for the sole purpose of delivering packages to people’s homes which eliminates any human contact ensuring that you remain as safe as possible. The best thing about delivery robots is that even after the pandemic they will be quite useful.
2- Convenient Earbud Mask
During the lockdown, people still needed to go out to run important errands, which meant donning a facemask from the second they leave their homes until they come back. Now, more people are required to go out daily to work or because they need to go to school. If you are a person who enjoys listening to music, you will understand the hassle of managing your earbuds when wearing a mask. They can get tangled up easily and it sometimes becomes uncomfortable since the elastic of the mask could put pressure on your earbuds’ wires. A new kind of mask has been invented which allows you to remain safe while listening to music or answering calls. A new earbud face mask has been invented which is great because not only will you be able to listen to your favorite tunes on the go, but you will also be protecting yourself and those around you. Another advantage of this mask is that you will not have to put your phone to your ear to answer calls which increases your protection against the virus since you never know whether the surface of the phone is contaminated or not.
3- Ear Savers
These are actually called different names for this invention, but they literally save your ears from constant pain and discomfort, so the name ‘ear savers’ is quite apt. Since the start of the pandemic, medical personnel and those on the first lines are required to keep their face masks on for copious amounts of time at once. This can put a strain on the ears because of the elastic hooks of the mask. These inventions dubbed as ear savers are simple plastic pieces, or sometimes even crocheted straps, that hold the mask in place. They are adjustable to ensure your mask stays in place without putting any strain on your ears. If you do venture outside constantly, or for a long time, then this is an innovation that will make your life much easier. It will help you avoid pain and chafing behind your ears.
Need is the mother of invention, so it is no surprise that innovators worldwide have come up with these amazing ideas and designed them to facilitate living in such a crisis. There are so many new innovations out there and some work better at making life during a pandemic easier. These three innovations range from being simple to quite technical, but they all have an amazing common factor which is making life during the pandemic much easier overall.
