The end is nigh...
Cyberdyne is gearing up to mass produce 400 of its "Hybrid Assistive Limb" exoskeletons annually, selling first to interests in Japan, then perhaps the rest of the world. The company intends the suit less for personal interest and more for "rehabilitation support and physical training support in medical field, ADL support for disabled people, heavy labour support at factories, and rescue support at disaster sites, as well as in the entertainment field." But, hey, if the market exists, Cyberdyne will ramp up production and — who knows? — maybe all of us will be running around in our very own exoskeletons.
The bottom line... is WTF PEOPLE!?! Seriously, do you guys ever watch fucking sci-fi movies? I feel like I'm a mutant that can see the future just because I've watched The Terminator. For chrissake, the name of the company that makes the cyborg's in the films is even called Cyberdyne. Can you be more obvious. And the worst part about it is, I'm ordering one of these things. You know how badass it would be to have a neighbor ask you to help him change a tire and you walk over clanking and hissing while you bend down and effortlessly lift his car. It couldn't be more badass unless it came with a automatic 6 inch dick extension (that rhymed... cool). I guess as long as "Cy-ber-dyne" doesn't become "Cy-borg R US" we should be alright, but that's probably what the people in the movie said just before Skynet became self-aware. So, I guess we're screwed.
