I am completely geeking out about this.

Check this out. Science fiction just became science fact.

That was SO COOL! I worry, though, that the military will become a big army of couch potatoes with pot bellies and flabby arms. I mean, why would you need to be in shape if you had one of these exoskeletons to do all the work for you?

I was thinking about this video some more. It's interesting how unimaginative most science fiction is actually. Think of Ripley in that heavy loader she used to kill off the queen mother in Aliens--kind of archaic looking compared to this exoskeleton that exists now. Star Trek and the various tricorders, communicators, input devices--we pretty much have all of that already. Maybe time travel does exist, and people from the future are just seeding these ideas into peoples heads to ensure they come to light.

What I want to know is how heavy the exoskeleton is when in use. Plus you gotta wonder if having your hand in the shape of a fist the whole time would cause carpel tunnel syndrome.

"Wow, you earned a Purple Heart in the war. What for? Did you get shot? Survive an IED attack? Tortured as a prisoner of war?"

"Nah. I got carpal tunnel."
