I've always been at the forefront of human progress

I remember when Segway was going to "change human mobility".

Are these to help one jump off a cliff?

No, thanks.

I'll develop my own muscles for free, and avoid the subscription fee, battery charging, replacement after two years, and other such bullshit.

One step closer to a brain in a bucket. Is that what you want to be?

You need an app to change between walking and running? That’ll be fun when you sprinting and then trip and your feet keep flopping like fish until you turn them off.

How much of a stat boost do they provide for the “kick ass and chew bubblegum” category?

I'm curious to see how this develops, like please give me Chel from Portal jump-legs at some stage, please.

But after speaking to physios and doctors and hearing how like just a couple millimeters of difference between your gait positioning or hip flexion while you walk or run over time can lead to major consequences with joint wear or tendon damage (etc)... This feels like it's bound to go wrong with the machine aggressively forcing your knee up and foot down every step.

This is not going to let me outrun a car and jump a building, does it?

When activated, the leg shells pick up the heels and propel the feet purposefully forward.

*won't change

Lol now corpos are trying to monatize and monopolize walking.

What do they want our bodies and minds so frail using bionics and AI everywhere that without paying a subscription, we literally couldn't leave the house?

These remind me of a time when French shepherds walked on stilts to overcome swampy landscape.

The modern equivalent would be stilts to "walk over" lanes of stroads, since the stilts could land on the lane dividers and thus provide uninhibited, elevated urban travel. Just don't fall.

I jest, but that would be a solving a real issue, where crosswalks at stroads take forever and a half.

A hip or knee exoskeleton would probably do better on a bike than these ankle things, but it'll be fun stuff to watch the inevitable videos of people using all three to run up the Niesen stairs.

But then how will I get shin splints trying to keep up with people who walk just faster than my top walking speed??

And if everyone has them, how can I feel superior by being faster than them because of the years of shin splints???
