Future Technology - Bionic Hand
on Monday, May 23, 2011
1) What kind of technology is being duscussed?
-They talked about bionic hand.
2) What are the benefits of this technology? Who would benefit?
-The bionic hand can be a huge benefit for people which have disabled hands, born with no hands, or lost the use of their hands.
-The bionic hand can rotate its wrist 360 degrees.
-We can control it with our brain and muscles and we can use it like normal hands: pick up a cup, a pen, tie your shoes, etc.
3) Are there any ethical problems with this technology?
-Yes there are. I think if we use the bionic hands too much, maybe the people with normal hands would also cut their hands to replace with a better, stronger hand. It is very ethical for people who cannot use their hands but i don't think people should depend on it too much.
People will depend on technology too much and then we just become a robot. It would be wrong with the nature if we all have a bionic hand. It wouldn't be natural. When we all have bionic hands, we might have low self-esteem and think that we are not as good as the people with bionic hands.
