Phantom limb

Having been born in the nineties and growing up throughout the two thousands I took a lot of technology for granted, assuming that they have already been around for a while and that it was common for everyone to have these technologies, for example the internet, computers, and video games, but it wasn’t until I was older that I realized how fast technology was advancing, and how much new technology I took for granted as a kid.

It is the devastating reality that nearly two million people are currently living with limb loss in the United States. I am writing this proposal to the Amputee Coalition, because I believe that it is time to research cheaper prosthetics for these two million people. Your average prosthesis can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $50,000, and it isn’t fair to those already possessing a disability. I write this because I plan to work in rehabilitative engineering, and want to build prosthetics that…

Therefore, prosthetics have advanced due to the change to lighter material, the change in mobility (movement),and the design has become more productable and useful for the amputee. “The evolution of prosthetics is a long and storied history, from its primitive beginnings to its sophisticated present,…

from contractions, but I wonder if they can just use contractions to make an entirely new limb that can be controlled by just by contracting certain muscles, as an external prosthetic. It could be an extra arm or leg, or even finger, and even if it wouldn’t be fully controlled, it would still help with basic tasks. Basically, my question is “could a prosthetic be used to give someone a controllable extra limb?” As I began to consider the impact that prosthetics could have on places like India,…

“You always knew it would Mark, ever since you felt the joy of being able to play god.” “But I never thought I would be here, laying on the floor of this old dump. I wanted the rein of The Phantom Killer to end on a high note “To end on a high note?!” the voice laughed. “You messed up, now you’re dying. Explain to me how we even got here…

years, the monsters of myths have moved from the iconic literary works onto the big screen of the cinema, permitting audiences to now see the creatures that were once only a culmination of descriptive phrases. The steady visual alteration of the Phantom and other monsters in film, has now disturbed the long-held hypothesis that claims that a monster's body is basically an embodiment of disparity bringing about one outcome, fear. A scholar in monster theory, Jeffery Jerome Cohen composed a book…
