prosthetic versus

1:20

augmentation and I just kind of see it

1:22

all in the same movement we're just

1:23

extending the human body an ampute is

1:27

completely different to A congenital

1:28

one-hander yet societal perception is

1:32

that they just have one arm and so

1:34

they're they're missing something and

1:35

that's not true and so if we start to

1:38

try to like Silo this technology like

1:40

this is for augmentation and this is for

1:42

Prosthetics it's the same technology

1:44

we're just talking about how you feel

1:45

about that person and also they might

1:47

not feel about that themselves is it a

1:49

prosthetic is it for someone without a

1:51

thumb or is it augmentation for someone

1:53

worth two thumbs it's both uh or it's

1:58

wearer Danny's invention went viral

2:00

online which meant her master's project

2:10

uh or uh you know and and really kind of

2:13

spark these discussions and I had just

2:15

would have thousands of comments on on

2:16

videos and stuff like that of people

2:18

going either way or also emailing me and

2:22

letting me know their feelings about it

2:23

as well and that's where I thought it

2:24

would live and then U but now it's uh in

2:27

a whole different space could we give it

2:28

to our one of our crew

2:31

yes absolutely you're crew can try

2:33
