what about this one?
Researchers unveil computerised prosthesis
Clever stuff, certainly.
It was just a thought on prosthesis - it kind of brings up the idea of cyborg and the whole sci-fi man/machine debate: will we, with these advancements in prosthetics technology, purposefully choose to 'enhance' ourselves?
Does this mean that we eventually turn into technology itself, or are still men/women?
Of course, this is all theoretical, as the technology is about 50years down the line!
