Very exciting, Sandy! Too bad the guy who invented it can't use it.

You think they'll invent one that doesn't require full use of arms?

That is pretty cool..Anything resembling "machinery" doesn't seem to like me though..My luck, first day out I'd step in a puddle and electrocute myself..

There must be a way to work it so balance can be kept without using arm crutches..? That would help a LOT of people..

That is amazing! How does it work? Does it work? Has it been proven to do so? If technology can do that, wow! I am never getting mad at my computer again! (Well...not until it gives me problems, that is!Oh, can they also build one that could alternate between walking and flying?

I don't want much...
