A bionic arm! For real!!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/13/AR2006091302271.html
Every time I hear about something like this I am utterly humbled and amazed by the forward (relative) motion of our species. Whether it’s a car that parks (or now drives) itself, or a synthetic limb that acts almost like a real one, it brings us closer to the imagined collective future of sci fi.
That is why I read and write sci fi. It is not some imaginary projection of a world that may be. It’s the reflection of an ever-changing present. It’s the first bursts of light across the horizon of tomorrow. It is that which is impossible continuosly made possible.
Imagine the possible.
