WP: "MIT Student Honored for Eyeglass Device"
Ok, this story isn't about politics, the war, or the economy. It may be about something more important. This student invented a simple device that can create custom eyeglass lenses quickly and cheaply. It has the potential to help millions of people around the world, especially in impoverished regions. He even created a pair of electronic goggles to quickly diagnose vision problems.
Way to go, Aussie!
