I dont know how well that would work on disabled people. You'd think after a while the brain would stop sending signals to muscles that either dont work or arn't there at all. But then again there's that "phantom limb" theory. It must weigh a ton too! Imagine getting stuck in that thing in a bad position. D: I'd say the terminator is more governor than machine.  |

This is the very beginning for powered exoskeletons, like how Univac used to take up all this space and had less power and storage than a cell phone today. There are a number of possibilities for where the technological singularity ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity) will come from. One of those possibilities is the rise of an emergent intelligence through AI. Another possibility is that of transhumanism- the augmentation of humanity's physical and mental abilities by technology. What I was getting at above was that a powered exoskeleton is a step down that second road. |
