Stephen Hawking (Communication Device User)

Stephen Hawking, the renowned physicist, used a specialized communication device to speak after losing most movement ability due to ALS. His device tracked tiny muscle movements or eye gestures, translating them into text on a computer screen. This technology enabled him to communicate complex ideas, write books, and participate in discussions despite his physical limitations. His communication system exemplifies how assistive technology can empower individuals with disabilities to maintain independence and engage fully with the world.
