You know in this age of negativity there seems to be very little news wherein you can celebrate, so i just want to show people something AWESOME that has come about.

elegs -- this device is going to help paraplegics walk and get around easier.  Grant it, its just in its beginning phase but the way technology progresses this will not only be affordable but a lot less bulky i would guess within 5 years.

Right now they said it costs about the price of a highend wheelchair but hadn't indicated if insurances or medicare would pay for such.  I bet within 5 years this will be something MANY MANY paraplegics have.

This is very exciting.

Yeah that's pretty cool!
I wonder how it works, an "acuator" or something?
They should have someone holding a banana split with melted marshmallow, whipped cream a cherry on top walking in front of that lady to get her to "speed it up a bit honey!"

Careful Popeye, you may find them passing you on the street in your old age.  [;)]
