Question

8．Every year，TIME selects the best inventions that are making the world better，smarter and-in some cases-a little more fun．Here's which ones made this year's unranked list．
●Morpher
People refuse to wear a helmet because they're thick and bulky．Morpher，a bike helmet made from interweaved plastics that is just as strong as its traditional helmets，but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat，making it easier to transport．Morpher has raised almost $300，000 on Indiegogo and may be available for sale in stores in future．
●Hyper Adapt
Almost everyone who sees the movie Back to the Future wants a pair of self-lacing shoes．Now，thanks to Nike，the shoe dream is a reality．When wearers press a button near the tongue，the Hyper Adapt 1.0s automatically tighten and loosen around their foot．Simplified shoe fastening could give users an edge during sports competition，and it's especially useful for people with impaired（受损的） motor function．
●Hello Sense
It's hard to believe that an alarm clock could not only be beautiful but also improve your sleep．That it could monitor the temperature，humidity（湿度），light and even air quality in your bedroom to help you engineer a perfect sleep environment．That it could monitor your sleep cycles and wake you when you're least likely to feel groggy-all thanks to simple voice commands．
●Eatwell Assistive Tableware
It is hard for Alzheimer's patients to use silverware without spilling．Eatwell Assistive Tableware is a dining set designed to make mealtime easier for people with Alzheimer's and other diseases that affect brain and body function．The tableware uses bright colors to help people distinguish their plates from their food and putting wide rubber bases on the cups to prevent spills．
