The scientists from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) have developed the first mind controlled, bionic arm, which also feels the touch! This is something, which has never been achieved before. I was astounded when I watched this video.
Science rocks!

It's only a matter of time before we have the Star Wars style prosthetic that will look and feel like the real thing and even eventually outperform it.

I'll take a non-feeling mecha suit please, I'm not interested in the transhumanist 'holy grail' to emerge from this and I'll be more than satisfied if I can get one in my lifetime so it will keep my feeble meat bag going for a few more decades after my 70s.
That and satisfy an instable desire to be a cyborg, of sorts, and explore some of the roughest terrains in World all in the comfort of my climate controlled pod toward the end of my life.

You never know. You may see it before 70. Technology is improving very fast and exponentially.
