Alright, this isn't exactly Luke Skywalker's Hand, but it is pretty close.Star Wars, later renamed Episode IV - A New Hope, came out in 1977-32 years ago. Try and remember how amazing something like a robotic arm was. Yes, Steve Austin had one too. But this was simply something that was "SCIENCE FICTION." Now the term "SCIENCE NON-FICTION" seems more appropriate.
I can't wait to see where even 20 years of development will bring this technology. A tip of the hat to Dean Kamen and his engineers and scientists.
