Dean Kamen and the Robotic Arm

American inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen, known best for the Segway Human Transporter, spoke today at Oceanit, a high-tech firm based in Honolulu. As part of his presentation, he talked about a revolutionary robotic arm he is developing in cooperation with the military.

This offered another, and slightly clearer, look at the brief video clips that debuted at TED in March and took the geek press by storm.

So first you say "You know what happens to the old lions in nature? The young ones work together to exile or kill the old useless ones (hint)" -- and now the way that you propose to demonstrate this is through sparring at your gym?! Sorry, but boxing ain't my style; nor are spelling bees. As far as I know, lions don't engage in either. If you want to try to demonstrate what you think young lions do to older ones, we can meet alone on neutral ground somewhere in the East Bay, no back-up. PM me.

"The world belongs to the young."

Fascinating. So you actually believe that "the world belongs to" people who have accomplished nothing, have zero power and very little money. Someone's living in a fantasy world, and it ain't me.

Of course, by your "logic", Dean Kamen, who will turn 58 next week, is out of the running. Not to mention that the most powerful man in the world -- Barack Obama -- is 2 years older than I, and consequently, irrelevant. Yeah, right.
