I just saw something truly mind blowing. The Atom Touch is the world’s first prosthetic arm with individual finger control. It’s entirely non-invasive and it’s all controlled by your mind and muscles. Why is this a big deal?

The battery and computer are located in the forearm. Jason Morris lost his arm in a work accident 12 years ago and kindly showed me what it’s like to put on and wear the arm. “It's a satisfaction that you just can't explain,” he said.
