Famed inventor Dean Kamen is back in front among the tech elite this week with a new invention. The last time we heard from Kamen, he was unveiling the Segway, a product he hoped would revolutionize human transportation, and solve problems like pollution and urban congestion. But unlike the Segway, Kamen hopes his new product never reaches a mass market.

It’s a prosthetic arm that weighs as much as a human arm. It boasts the same range of motion, and the same tactile sensitivity. When the government called on him two years ago to build it, even Kamen wasn't sure his team could build it. In this video he tells us about the experience, what it meant for his career, and what he learned from the Segway experience.
I think this is awesome what this guy is doing, but I can't help think... Is this the birth of SKYNET???

That is awesome. So many advancements are made every day that is just boggles the mind.

I look forward to the day when we can replace any body part without the fear of it drastically changing the way we live our lives.
