hey Michael here in August of this year
it was announced that you can now
download the assistive context-aware
toolkit a cat the software people like
Stephen Hawking used to communicate with
the world using cheek twitch recognition
that was great news for people with
vocal disabilities but only a few
different voices are available on the
software however you can lend your own
voice to people who don't have one using
vocal ID all you need to do is set aside
a few hours record your voice upload it
to the database and know that you've
made a real difference you don't have to
spend a lot of money to help other
people out so if you don't have a lot of
money or even if you do check out these
dongs that make a difference things to
do online now guys some particularly
expensive items can be clothing now for
those who are in need
there is the street store dot-org it's a
pop-up clothing store created in South
Africa that prints out hangers for
unwanted clothes and turns any street
corner into a shop for the homeless you
can do it to print off the open source
templates take your spare clothes along
and turn your street into a store for
those who may need them now once you've
printed something off of course it
ceases to be a dong but it's a
charitable thing to do so that's okay
if you don't have spare clothing but do
happen to have spare art supplies then
head to creative pitch org a Chicago
based organization that gathers unwanted
art materials and gives them free to our
teachers and therapists who need them
the most you've probably already heard
of free rice comm a site that for every
question you answer correctly donates 10
grains of rice to charity well in
February 2015
they reached 300 billion grains this is
nearly nine and a half thousand tons
enough to feed over fifteen and a half
million people for a day
over two million cell samples have been
analyzed by citizen scientists like you
on cell slider an interactive tool from
Cancer Research UK where from your own
computer you can help scientists work
through thousands of real cell samples
detecting cancer right now they're up to
date but more are always added and the
tutorial on how it works and what sort
of cells to be looking for is
fascinating to work through searching
like this takes a very long time but
searching for some addresses on earth is
almost impossible here's when what three
words would be useful the tool Maps the
entire Earth onto 57 trillion 3 metre
Square areas and allocates 3 words to
each of them for global pinpointing as
well as exploring the 3 word names of
familiar locations to you there's
actually a big need for this addressing
system many people on earth don't have
proper addressing for their location so
they aren't able to get deliveries or
receive aid latitude and longitude are
great but they're sometimes cumbersome
tricky to remember and not fully
understood by many now we've mentioned
this one before but if you're more
interested in helping humans map the
universe searching for alien
intelligence than help SETI the search
for extraterrestrial intelligence right
at home when you're not using your
computer you can give permission to SETI
to use an amount you choose of your CPU
disk space and bandwidth they didn't use
this to help them compute the vast
amount of data picked up from space in
the search for alien intelligence if you
just opened a new tab to go do this
before the videos even over then make
sure it's a tab for a cause download the
plugin and for every new tab you open
you raise a small amount of money for
different charities you can pick from I
will leave you with a bonus song that's
not free but is incredibly charitable
