Kenneth tells us about Smart Socks and why he accepts things the way they are. The present is a beautiful gift.At the age of 15, Kenneth designed a smart device for his grandfather, who has Alzheimer's disease. An invention that caught the eye of both the media and awards programs such as the Google Science Fair for his pair of smart socks, designed to send an alert to a caregiver if a patient gets out of bed. In 2014, he won the $50,000 Scientific American Science in Action Award.—Recorded live at the global event in Cardigan, west Wales in 2016.Watch Kenneth's full talk here: www.thedolectures.com/talks/kenneth-shinozuka-the-present-is-a-beautiful-gift
