In 2008, a man was in a four- wheeler accident which crashed in a downed power line and made his body jolt with7,200 volts of electricity. In order to keep him alive they had to amputate his hands and ever since he has used prosthetic hands to help him move around. Now he has received the newest and latest technology, a bionic hand which is partially controlled by an iPhone, the I-limb ultra revolution. The company has claimed that it is the closest thing to a real hand since it has movable fingers and it can basically anything except be water proof. It also adjust so it can be easier to dive, hold cups, carry heavier material, which is more realistic than a prosthetic hand.The iPhone helps you adjust the shape you want which is very helpful.
OPINION: I'm sorry the man lost his hand and even though he has a new hand it is still not his, but I hope he's happy.
