an exciting future

You thought Bionic eLegs were exciting, for people with mobility problems, how about a whole exoskeleton to let paraplegics walk?

Phew--small potatoes, what if it was controlled entirely by your mind? Such a thing already exists! We know that specific areas of our brain activates when we perform specific actions, and now they are figuring out ways to use that neuro-electrical activity as input to control machinery. Woot!

If that isn't sciencefictiony enough for you, consider: the brain activity occurs BEFORE the corresponding motor actions. So devices can read what you are about to do while you are still only thinking about doing it, before you actually do anything at all. The future is unimaginable, and scary-hopeful.

Think what if we develop this stuff like we developed computers, or phones, or cars.

This can't be wrong

in the comments on Steven Hawking's lecture ...

My favorite is from Norse mythology where Thor, the God of thunder, drank ale from a magic horn that was connected to the sea. Thor was such a mighty drinker that he actually lowered the level of the sea and this is how the tides came about.
...
Of course the Norsemen didn't discuss how the tide came back in but anyone who has spent an afternoon drinking beer knows the answer to that.

:-) Damn... so that's why the sea has all that foam in it, eh

And that accounts for the salt!!

Guns don't rape people

Lessee, with guns, they don't kill people, the people doing the killing do; but with rape, it's not the people doing the raping, it's the porn that rapes people. Wait, what?
