Beyond bionics: how the future of prosthetics is redefining humanity

Bionic technology is removing physical barriers faced by disabled people while raising profound questions of what it is to be human. From DIY prosthetics realised through 3D printing technology to customised AI-driven limbs, science is at the forefront of many life-enhancing innovations

[@copyright4138]

Being part robot is cool

[@arx3516]

It depends on the customer wishes. A 20 y.o. would have no problem wearing a futuristic arm, a 70 y.o. however would prefer something more sober, either a "real looking" one or just wearing long sleeves and putting a nice leather glove on the prosthetic hand. The latter would be the most stylish option in my opinion, the best for formal occasions where you have to wear a suit, just make sure that the glove's color matches that of shoes and belt.

[@Ollybollyk]

@@autismman102 It can look real without being disturbing. It's just, very difficult and obviously it is still in the early stages. There's phases for it. First the purpose is to make it look real from far off, if you're standing across the street from someone and their prosthetic looks real to the point you can't tell, it's worth it for a lot of people. You then improve from there until it looks real enough to be nigh indistinguishable, they can already do it with statues and artwork trust me it's very possible for a prosthetic arm.

[@garrettcampbell5995]

That’s strait up a bold woman. She had a solid heart and is a guiding light to those who have lost a limb and shows there is hope to be better then normal.

[@joda7697]

She isn't bold for being positive about her arm. Just used to it because it's been like that her whole life. The actual bold part is being secure in herself to tell others who look at her with pity, that she loves her arm, and that it's cool. She's right, of course. It is really cool.

@just another human Explain CRISPR if viruses aren't real. BTW speaking of CRISPR one of the problems with it is that the synthetic portion of the DNA is usually shed at a very high rate so it works great on modifying seeds of plants or eggs of say fish like the Danio that have thousands of eggs (Dani was the first GMO fish) but it's not great to use on humans since human females don't have a lot of eggs to waste and also the genetically modified bioweapons (such nCov) would fail to be effective before long because they'd rapidly mutate into a non-lethal form which is probably exactly what happened with this nCov nonsense, assuming it really was a bioweapon leak.

This is absolutely amazing. I love how intelligent prosthetics change the abilities of the human body. Maybe in future we can even add new sensory experiences to alter the way we perceive our human experience.

[@lucius1510]

I'm a left hand congenital amputee, and I feel so grateful that I was born in this time and age. The technology surrounding prosthetics is improving so quickly and these devices are becoming more easily accessible to people like myself. I'm 18 now and have grown up with many different prosthetic arms (myoelectric, body-powered, 3D-printed, etc), and the thought of in the future possibly having a hand like those featured in this video is just so euphoric

do they not give kids speech lessons anymore though? it was part of elementary school here in canada in the 80s/90s if you needed it

[@Mr_Hoppykwins]

1: he's like 6 2: It's entirely possible that he has some kind of speech impediment. Not so easily treated as with speech lessons.

My youngest brother had a speech thing growing up, actually still does. Hes 18 now. So even with speech therapy it's not likely hell ever grow out of it.

Thats what you got from the whole video, I seriously think you missed the point lol, if you've nothing nice to say maybe you should have been taught to say nothing.........My child doesn't have any speech issues, he's 10 and had a camera showed in his face, he wasn't exactly feeling very confident so get a life please, cheers

"I had a kid that cried when I took off my arm." It seems a great way to scare off bullies that terrorize in school. :D

Fascinating. We are way way off from a cyber-punk sort of enhancement level of technology which would bring up lots of ethical debates but this development is going to make life a lot easier for those that need the help.
