I chose to research about technology for my Outside Reading project for multiple reasons. One reason is that technology is the topic that most interests me since there are many possibilities with it and it’s never known what can happen to it. Another reason is because technology is a lot more modern today than they were back then because people rely on them more than they used to. Finally, technology is fun to play with and it’s also very fun to see what is going on about it and what breakthroughs have happened recently. The “Researchers enable patient to use brain to move fingers on prosthetic arm” article was the one I liked the most for several reasons. First, the article stated that amputees with prosthetics will one day have the ability to mirror the movements of real limbs. I liked this because it showed how much technology has evolved and it’s still getting better to the point where amputees can feel like normal people again.

It also made me wonder about what the brain will be able to do in …show more content…

A big piece of the article is about it’s strength, speed, and how it inspired others. While the statistics of this robot cockroach were really good, the title seemed like a
