    Amazing how far prosthetics have come. My wife deals with this on a daily basis as a Physical Therapist...mostly with legs and knees. She says the Germans are making the best bionic knees that are smart and understand your gate pattern. Not sure who made this, but it had to be damn expensive.

    Have you seen the hook up were people can type and control computers with their thoughts? I saw an arm like this that a monkey was controlling remotely. Pretty amazing stuff.... life will be unrecognizable in 20 years.
