Reading Assistance for the Elderly or Pirates



This interesting piece of machinery is designed to help elderly persons turn the pages of magazines and books in the library. I think it is a fantastic idea but there seem to be so many questions left to be answered. At first I thought this would be a good tool for rare materials, but then I had a vision of an ancient tome being ripped asunder by the cold steely talons of technology.




On the plus side one-handed pirates can eat their lunch while reading their favorite tale of the high seas. Shiver me timbers....
