FmA, and other tech

The best part about science fiction...

...is when the day comes that it's no longer fiction.

First I looked at the url and went, what the hell is washington post doing reporting anything that has to do with FMA? Then I read the article. XD Pretty awesome, yeah.

I did think of it being rather sci-fi, but didn't think of it as FmA. ...Generally, it's just really cool to see happening out there. XD

...that is amazing.

That makes me happy.

It amazes me. It's one thing to know that within my lifetime portable music contraptions became possible, all the way down to tiny Mac nanos, or that I've seen phones go from dial to cellular -- but something like this? Far, far, more wonderful, really.

I just put "FmA" in there because it's the most recent cybertech/biotech science fiction (of a sort) work I've read, and yet already we may have made it a reality, in some ways. Amazing.

Yeah, especially the fact that I'd never thought about how they'd do it, yet it makes sense: she just thinks about moving her arm, and that -- in turn -- tenses the muscles in her chest that once would've been an unconscious part of movement, and tadah, the arm moves.

I mean, it's simple, but yet... wow.

[solitude1056.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And in our lifetime. It's very cool.

[solitude1056.livejournal.com]

Same here! :)

AUTOMAIL IS REAL, YO. ;D

And please notice that the movement of the arms are not POWERED by "electrical impulses carried by the nerves..." ahem.

Heard this story on the radio on Saturday morning and the first thing I thought of was Fullmetal Alchemist.

All those miles between us but our brains still seem to be linked.
