Our whole family gathered around the TV for once to catch it! It's remarkable how far they've come so far with the DEKA arm and prosthetics in general.

Just saw the clip, wow, that was amazing how the guy was controlling the hand just by thought...
Technology has come so far. I remember seeing Dean present the arm in '06/'07(they blur together) and now I'm sure its close (relatively) to being controlled by human thought instead of toe sensors. |
Re: Dean Kamen On 60 Minutes.
I was extremely impressed. My whole extended family gathered around the TV to watch the special. Everyone was in awe. I can't believe how fast that technology is moving forward!

Maybe next year's challenge will be to pick up eggs and cook something ;)
Oh that would be quite the experience. |

Some people say "Oh I've met Michael Jordan" or some other athlete/entertainer.
Us FIRSTers have one better... We've met Dean Kamen |
Re: Dean Kamen On 60 Minutes.
I was playing some form of Mass Player Game on the interwebs with my friends when I heard his name. My immediate reaction was typing "be back later, Dean Kamen is on TV".
They called Kamen a "rockstar" and he was mentioning kids and robotics all over the place. I was kind of dissapointed when he didn't mention FIRST. :( |

Ya he always brings up first but they probabily cut it out since the segment was on the arms not him.

I'm thinking I'm out of luck since CBS probably does not make this available on DVD or for download. |
