On the whole, I am a fan of living in the future; video-phone calls, makin’ sheep immortal, that whole schtick. Except every now and then, slightly disturbing developments crop up, and I’m forced to consider a future where this is much wailing, gnashing of teeth, and zombies. Case in point: you can replace missing arms with robot tentacles.
Industrial designer Kaylene Kau came up with this terrifying, terrifying innovation as an alternative to clumsy hand-shaped prosthetics;
‘Through extensive research I found that the prosthetic functioned as an assistant to the dominant functioning hand. The prosthetic needed to be both flexible and adjustable in order to accommodate a variety of different grips.’
The implication here is that your feeble man-shaped limbs are obsolete, and that you can choose between your new tentacle robot god and a long, agonizing robot-tentacle-based death.
