The team constructed a special keyboard, which has holes fitted with sensors instead of keys. All Saba Meir needs to do is place his finger over the letter he wants to type, with no need to apply pressure.
Using his fingers to press keys while typing makes his hands hurt, so he needs a more comfortable way.
Saba Meir is 100 years old, but he loves using technology to keep in touch with his family.
