You know what’s pretty cool? Science. And do you know why? Because science gives us stuff like this nugget, first reported by the Associated Press:
“A group of European scientists say they have successfully connected a robotic hand to a man who had lost an arm, allowing him to feel sensations in the artificial hand and control it with his thoughts.”
That’s right. An Italian man lost his left hand and forearm in a car accident, so doctors just gave him a new bionic arm, and he learned to control it with his mind as though it were a real, organic body part. They haven’t released the man’s name, but you can’t help but wonder if it rhymes with duke flytalker, right?
