    It's neat to see such innovations leading us towards more sci-fi style of life. Of course it'll be a while before this gets into the mainstream market, but it's still neat to see.

    As the world gets wiser, it becomes weaker in the process

    ehh... not really important to me, but I might get one anyway, just 'cause the idea is awesome. and Hawkey3, you're right, but by the time it gets so wise it's to weak we'll all be dead, so enjoy it now. Nothing we say can stop it.

    Alright, then I want one of those robots that they use to repair space shuttles.

    That is so awesome, I might have to buy one of those for my parents, since they may need one, one day.

    Uh...it's OK for disabled people, but it looks preety dumb for a normal person to use it. What's the matter, you can't even use your own body anymore without machine intervention?

    A great idea... but hardly new. DARPA has been working on something similar for several years now, although their idea is more to do with enhancing physical strength and speed for military operations. Think of a slightly-less-outlandish version of Metal Gear Solid's Powered Exoskeleton technology.
