invented a new kind of jogging shoe. These shoes have little red lights on the
back of the heels. The lights are very small and lightweight. They are run by
tiny batteries. With these new shoes, the jogger can feel much safer running
along the road in the dark. The lights make the jogger much more visible to the
drivers of motor vehicles. This may reduce the risk of accidents.

2. If you too much noise in your life, an American company has a special
product for you! This product is a machine that can eliminate sound waves
from the air. Machines like this are already in use in some very noisy factories.
Soon there will be models for use in large trucks. Yet another model, the
“personal quieting machine,” is designed for use in homes or offices. It will be
able o eliminate all kinds of unpleasant background noises, including street
and airplane traffic. A quieter environment in the home could mean reduced
stress and improved mental and physical health. A quieter office could allow
greater productivity and job satisfaction.

3. Have you ever noticed how much of the potato is wasted when you peel
it? When you are peeling just a few potatoes for your dinner, this does not
matter, of course. But just imagine what happens when potatoes are peeled in
factories. Industrial potato peelers, in fact, waste an average of 15% of the
potato. In the largest factories, billions of pounds of potatoes are processed
every year. This means a loss of millions of dollars annually. Now, new
technology may bring an end to that loss. A special kind of laser potato peelers
has been developed to eliminate almost all of the waste. However, this new
peelers is not for everyone. Only the largest manufactures will be able to afford
buy the new machine. Each one costs over a million dollars!
