I know these products are kind of peripheral, but it seems like a lot of their concepts heavily tie into the nervous system, so maybe in a few years or decades, this company will be able to find a way to repair or maybe reroute the connections.

I remember reading a story a while back about a guy who had his nerves moved from his arm into his chest before amputation, and then those same nerves were attached to a prosthesis. Just imagine if, with the right technology, we could control mechanical limbs using a combination of commands we normally would send to our arms, etc. I know it sounds weird but it's just a matter of reprogramming.

I have really high hopes for this company, I saw it linked on another forum and I really got excited. Sorry for rambling. I've been reading here for a while and this news got me excited enough to actually register for once. I'm Ricky by the way, so hi to everyone! Anyway, here: http://www.sarifindustries.com/

This is a viral video to garnish publicity for a fictional company, "Sarif Industries", which exists in the fictional dystopic future world portrayed in the upcoming SQUARE-ENIX video game "Deus Ex : Human Revolution".

You may want to tell whomever you saw posted it originally, as well. Would hate to have some crushed hopes due to advertisement propaganda.

Thanks Hikkakaru. I clicked on the site and found it very irritating when I could find not text information. Boo-chie (bull Sh**)

Yeah, thanks, I didn't know whether to believe my eyes or not. Certainly looked too good to be true.
