Cyborg Legs Are Pretty Cool, But a Cyborg Penis Would Be Even Cooler

It’s weird to be “in the future.” We’re not quite at flying cars or pink hoverboards just yet, but one cannot argue about the rapid progression of technology over the last century. From Fords to Segways, Atari to Wii, Shirley Temple to Miley Cyrus, and Depression to Recession. Actually, those aren’t good examples of technological development at all, but this is!
Via Gizmodo:
Honda’s wearable Asimo-inspired Walk Assist devices: the Stride Management Assist and Bodyweight Support Assist rigs.
Stemming directly from Asimo research, Honda’s learned so much about how bipeds walk that they can now produce devices that react to human motion in real time to support the motion of walking, using just a few simple sensors each. The magic is in the processing software which was refined with Asimo.
Honda’s Fundamental Research Institute hopes will help mobilize and rehabilitate Japan’s rapidly aging population or lessen the leg fatigue of factory workers who stand and crouch for hours on end
The perv in me cannot help but consider this wasted technology. I mean, if I could have a cyborg penis for just one day, I’d be the happiest girl in the world. I’d be peeing on buildings in public, and writing cool things in the snow, and… oh, wait. Cyborg penises already exist. They’re called strap-ons. Riiight. Hmm, so I’m saying I want to wear a strap-on? Oh, good lord, why am I still writing???
