[QUOTE]
"The technology and entrepreneurial communities are inventing
extraordinarily powerful tools: Neural prostheses, external robotics,
machine learning. As we march into the future, you will see a world
where amputees can run faster; you'll see a person who's suffered a
stroke no longer limping. These powerful tools will do a tremendous
service to society, in that they'll rid society of human disability."
