BIONICS
A medical discovery used to help people in need
Bionics - What Are They?
One man who has bionics is Bertolt Meyer. You can find out more about him later.
For now, however, we talk about the main idea behind bionics in humans. The idea is to help people who have lost body part in any way. It would cost a fortune, but it would be worth it. In my own opinion, it would be amazing to have some bionics in me! That is my own opinion though.

Bertolt Meyer - A Man With A Bionic Arm
This latest modification is a bionic hand, with each finger being run by its own motor. Inside of the molded forearm are two electrodes that respond to muscular signals: Sending a signal to one electrode opens the hand and to the other closes it. Activating both allows Meyer to rotate the wrist 360 degrees.
Touch Bionics, the maker of this mechanical wonder, calls it the i-limb. The name represents more than marketing. Improved software, longer-lasting batteries and smaller, more power-efficient microprocessors—the technologies driving the revolution in personal electronics—have ushered in a new era in bionics. In addition to prosthetic limbs, which are more versatile and user-friendly than ever before, researchers have developed functioning prototypes of artificial organs that can take the place of one’s spleen, pancreas or lungs. And an experimental implant that wires the brain to a computer holds the promise of giving quadriplegics control over artificial limbs. Such bionic marvels will increasingly find their way into our lives and our bodies. We have never been so replaceable.
