How cool is that? I had no idea how advanced we are in the world of brain-controlled prosthetic limbs. Dang.

What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
If they put this on any men, you might be hearing a lot of stories about crushed *****' in the not too distant future.

Why? Men like to grab each others weenies?

YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.
A bionic arm would be cool and all but I'd be a little bummed about it not ending in a spinning, diamond edged sawblade.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
Amazing, I love hearing about advancements like that. What they are doing now with blind, and particularly deaf people is amazing as well. The technology involving the deaf is such that we potentially could have no deaf people left in society at a point in our lifetimes.
I saw a great documentary on it recently...forget the name, will look it up. The thing that's sad about it though, is that it does not work well on people who have been deaf their entire lives, because their brains did not create the pathways necessary to process the information properly. It works amazingly well in children born deaf though, since their brains can adjust and grow into the system, enabling them to function at a very high level of hearing. Cool stuff.
Ed. in protest of typo's, and "Sound and Fury" was the documentary

FUck it. I think sign language is badass.
So I was looking for a link to the ************ method known as "The Stranger", because she has a fake hand and all, when I came across my new favorite testimonial website. Thought I'd share.
No pictures, but you might not want to look at that link at work.

Yeah, uh, no way I'm clicking that link from work. Thanks though!

I think you're conveniently forgetting about those who resent your elitist hearing-enabled attempts to take away their deafness.
I remember reading that one of the first truly bionic devices was a chip some fellow embedded in himself to remotely control his light switches.

I'd be interested in testing out a bionic ******. I bet that sucker would do magical things during an ******. Of course I'd test it with a stick first to make sure it wasn't going to break my *****.

Popsicle stick?

I was just thinking.. If I were to have sex with such a woman, could I ever get through it without saying "Na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na-na" with each stroke?

Hence the entire "Sound and Fury" movie reference. Look, debating whether or not being able to hear is better or worse then being deaf is ridiculous. I'm not taking away from the deaf culture, I understand exactly their ties to each other and how emotional the subject is. But to insinuate that being deaf or blind for that matter, shouldn't be changed if it can be...well I think it's just terrible to say.
In "Sound and Fury" one set of parents actually chooses to keep their daughter deaf when it could be different. This decision is made after the mother, who decides to get the implant as well, finds out that the technology will not work for her. It will work for her young daughter, not for her. After finding this out, she does a complete 180 on the subject, and becomes an implant hate monger...when only days before she was hopeful of having the same treatment.
I can't imagine what it is like to be deaf or blind, I just can't. But I'd like to think that if I was deaf, my child was deaf, and I had the opportunity to change that I would. Even if it meant opening up a large divide between us I really hope I would make that choice.

Seen similiar things like this recently on Discovery Channel, maybe u could find it if u looked a little(sorry been up like 28 hours), But this guy could open a Dead Bolt Lock on a Door by waving his hand infront of it using similar technology, he had a chip in his arm that put out a signal to turn the lock when he got close to his door,
Theres even a guy with a chip in his arm, that after reading the article you posted, i think he was the one who stemed the idea or maybe had a part in it.
But in the near future he plans on puting a chip in his head(or on his brain? dont remember) that would let him hook to an ISP....
Now tell me if that isnt some Ghost in the Shell stuff xD
<3<3<3 Ghost in the Shell if u havent seen any, GO GET NOW GO!

I've always stated that once the technology became available I was going to get T3s wired directly into my eye sockets.

"I'm thinking about getting robotic legs. It's a risky procedure, but it'll be worth it."
Yikes. I hadn't realized that technology was that advanced. Next thing you know, we'll all have tiny cell phones implanted right behind our ears which will allow us to call anybody just by thinking about it. iPod will have an entirely new market to delve into!

Remember, though, it costs 1 Essence to have it installed.

Agreed, you are a dork. As a penance, I deem that you should roll this bucket full of six-sided dice.

What's my TN, anyway?
Because God help me, I'll shank the first person who says I have to do this under 4th Edition rules, with each and every one of these
fucking dice.
