SafeSip is a device designed to
detect contaminated water or to see if any alcoholic drink is safe to drink. In
the United States today, I do think it is a good idea to have a device that can
make sure an alcoholic drink is safe from any date rape drugs. I know that the
general rule is to never leave your drink unattended. However, that is not
always the case. Sometimes the person may have to go to the restroom or go
dancing, and as a result, the person can leave his/her drink unattended. I
doubt many people would want to waste a drink or buy a new one. It is basically
a waste of money. That is why this is a good solution to this problem. I like
how it is very small and can be kept on your keychain; therefore, one can never
forget it at home. I also like that it can tell you the drug that it found
because if anything were to happen, the person has proof of what drug it was. I
just hope that the battery actually lasts for a long time.
As for targeting the contaminated
water in poor countries, I do not feel that it is effective. Yes, it would be
effective if a person is going camping or hiking. However, like Dr. J and the
video itself stated, it is not a matter of knowing that it is contaminated or
not; it is a matter of getting clean water for them. I do like that you guys
tried to help the poor out too, in regards of buying one and giving one for
free to a person in need. Is it doable though? After all, this will be a business
and without profits, a business will not prosper.
In the end, I do think this is a
good device for people that actually need to make sure that their drink is
safe. This device is pretty much for recreational purposes. I say this because,
drinking, hiking, or camping are all recreational activities. This does not
make the device any less important, but it does mean that the demand for this
is not a necessary thing like education, rather a precautious measure.
