If they do, I haven't seen it. I don't know if I would want that though.

I had prosthetic arms at one point, but because I lack any arm "stump" their movement was quite limited. They were more of a hindrance then help.

NIA

Both of those are how robots will use us to do their bidding.

Let me see what I can find. I lost a lot of pictures when my last computer died. If I can get my cam working on linux I'll show you how I light cigarettes.

I've got four pics to share. The first is an up close of my wheelchairs controls, the second is another view of the chair on the day I got it. The third shows me on the phone (I do everything on the floor at home) and the fourth is my bed. Sorry, it's all I have right now.

EDIT: The pics aren't in the right order, but you can figure it out.
