Wtf people everyone's complaining about an ad at the end of the video when they need the money to give kids free prosthetic arms, wow
It's not about being an ad as such and about wanting to raise money, but the product placement is ill placed and comes super obvious plus out of the blue. That's just plain cheap and deceiving. I want to decide on my own whether I want to watch an ad or not. It should have been made clear from the start, it would have been no big deal.
Btw, Microsoft is a very rich company and if it were only a call for social responsibility for raising money, there would be no need to cover the software as much. It would be enough to say: 'The used software Microsoft Note and the institutions x, y and z call out for your help, contributions and donations.' There would still have been a little product placement/honourable mention. But like this it feels like the social responsibility factor is only a minor side kick.
At least it was ad the end of the video, you didn't have to watch the ad if you didnt want to
eh it was a small one in the video, idc as long as the money goes to the kids
orangeandyoghurt If it's obvious, how is that meant to be deceiving? They very clearly stated it was brought to them by Microsoft. What about that was lying? I really dont see the big deal.
orangeandyoghurt "I want to decide on my own whether I want to watch an ad or not. "thats not how this works, if you use adblock go ahead, but it isn't your right to do so, it is jailbreaking no matter what
"Hug with two hands"
Jesus Christ, right in the feels.

Yhetti64, me too

Stop being derp!
😡lol
"Hug with two hands"....something we all take for granted
im disabled. i hug all my friends using one arm.... and even i didnt see his answer coming!
@@stirlingalexander9543 "Jesus gave you two hands"
A nerd gave me two hands
I’m not crying, my eyes are just sweating
I prefer to hug with two arms.
Hugging at all is something we take for granted.
5:45 "We don't feel like people should profit from a child without an arm"
That hit me right in the feels :3
Yeah, I got emotional
1Sub2Trolls2Dead
Yeah that's spot on. Also 7:08
Imagine someone telling that to board of executives in some big corp lmao.
Awesome!
:-D
Wait, is that the King of Random??
You should make one.
next week on king of random: How to smelt your own bionic arm in your flowerbed foundry using some aluminium cans
wacka but does the bionic arm fire toothpics from a built in crossbow?
"I wan't to hug with two hands" "I want to give 106 high fives!" best wishes ever!
It's sad. One of the most basic things is one of the things these kids cant do. But I'm broke and dont make money so I cant do much
4:25 "I'm really excited right now about doing somersaults....and hugging with two hands"
Gah, I just broke
Producing something like that for 300 dollars.
Holy lord almighty, science is awesome.
+Sharpclawasaurus smart idea!!!!
Within ten years this will cost about 50 dollars.
Science yes, and capitalistism in unison.
They should try let's say not five fingers but 10 on one hand, it could be a great advantage
Golden Freddy03 And laser beams.
Amazing...
"We don't think people should profit from a child without an arm"
Wow
And yet we still have product placement.
Looking at you Microsoft ...
Microsoft is not people. They would profit from a terminal ill child given the opportunity.
I like the idea of cheap limps, but this video just hit a new low when it comes to advertising. Shame on you Microsoft, and Veritasium for uploading this.
ezad viper Hmmm, now that's perhaps the most interesting comment that I have read today. A minute ago I was super supportive of the idea, despite the placement, but now that you bring that topic up, I can see the other side of the argument. Well done, and in so few words.
P.s. I am not being sarcastic.
Sukhrajah without the product placement we wouldn't have this project in the first place. This kind of research requires a lot of money (a few hundred to print arms and a few thousands to actually build the arm).
***** Disagree, fine. No need to berate him. It shows you as violent and as ignorant as you are attacking him for being. He has an opinion, let it be. Come on, you can contribute positively to so much more of an effect. This is about kids, and research. Put your efforts into helping them, from the looks of this video, all help is well invested and needed.
Yeah... Nice Microsoft Productplacement...
Good cause though.
As the guy said though , they need funding yo...It's pretty understandable.
The master of all its acceptable when they do it right and dont stomp it on your face :) but its funny how they try to hide it so you dont notice it :b
5:44 "We don't feel like people should profit from a child without an arm"
Grow up.
ye naice that you live without money so you dont need advertisement amiright????
If a 20 second ad at the end of a video about a breakthrough in prosthetic arms bothers you, you need to set your priorities straight.
Why the heck would anybody dislike this video?
bunch of assholes that's why
yeah I don't get it either
They thought it was "dis-i-like" lol
pirates disliked it.
+Cadeb Nuswurdey hahahahahhaha
My heart melted when the little boy said " …and hug with two hands" oh my goodness the feels
"We don't feel like people should be profiting from a child without an arm." Great line right there.
This is the reason I love the scientific spirit: it's all about collaboration and union within the species and with nature. If only we didn't live in a world where progress was limited by money (or a lack of it). But in some ways, that makes the endeavour all the more commendable and inspiring. Thanks for this :)
Why is this not on the main-stream news media ?
Because no one is profiteering from it.
These guys rock
+Malith Loki Melkor It was on the media.

@@uraniumglow2678 I dont see stuff like this enough, I just keep hearing news about "him".😶
That's fantastic. What a truly rewarding thing to be a part of.

Aditya Sahu shame really...
Yep
Alltime Conspiracies I
Alltime Conspiracies yes your right
Why would anyone dislike this? If someone dislikes this, that implies that they're against making 3-D printed arms that are sponsored by Microsoft.
Or they just like hitting the dislike button, idk.
Some people like getting the first dislike, like me.
It's because it's sponsored by Microsoft. People feel that it's meant as an advertisement for Microsoft by using something noble like allowing one armed kids to have a second, and working, arm.
TheSecretman82 so what? must one lose to help others gain? ms is gaining and helping the deprived gain as well. this kind of advertisement should be encourage instead of pornographied ads.

"We don't feel like people should profit from a child without an arm"
I have my arms and legs but still I really want to say thank you when hearing this statement.
our world needs more good people~ thank you~~~~
And we need more funding for this technology
Well, that's handy.
haha i see wat u did there lel
Omg *facepalm*
What do you mean...
+Charles Benjamin 'HANDy' Like hand? You know? mmmm nvm..
+luke marshall That was bad...
What kind of sick broken people thumbs downed this?!?! For shame...
Christopher Young Well boohoo
Christopher Young You mean a sponsorship so veritasium can keep making vids?? OH GOD NO!!! how aweful... it was a whole what, 4 seconds of the video... I think the awareness raised more than makes up for it. I wasn't aware that so many children are born without limbs or full limbs. No one whines when it's audible doing the sponsorship.
Christopher Young And I wouldn't exactly call it an ad so much a a call for talented people to help work on this project and to help more kids. It wasn't saying "Go buy the new blah blah blah."
Christopher Young
matbe, they realy like microsoft and wanted to say that, also they need the money so its realy good that microsoft is giving money to such a good couse.
Charlotte Burnside apply cold water to burned area
the trouble with prosthetics that some people dont realize is that EVERY, SINGLE, ONE, of them has to be custom designed to fit the recipient. its not like clothes where it just has to kind of fit. not everyone has the same body size or the same amount of missing limb. the ability to quickly make custom designs with 3d printers is surely what will solve this problem. in a few decades all you will hav to do is get your nerves mapped out and body measured then in 6-8 business weeks youll hav a limb.
thing is the hand would be like padronized but i get it thing is,the amount of ppl that need these arms is not AWFULLY big so thats not so much of a problem with proper funding and dedication even if it takes 20 years to get every single person who needs an arm to get one
Zd📌📍
Although if they have atleast 1 arm that one can be scanned to make the prosthetic fit as well as possible. If not then they can go by proportions. We aren't quite at the point where we can easily do it but further research will make a huge difference for a lot of kids someday.
Adjustable straps. Simple design. Baby steps. Not everything has to be so fine-tuned to be effective.
Well, clothes used to be custom fitted too, by a professional called a tailor, which is mostly gone now. It's a matter of scale too.
I'm hoping I can help as many people as they do when I graduate high school. It's a great feeling to see the smiles on these kids faces

Faith in humanity restored :D
that is until somehing else f*cked up happens
tigurius555 What do you mean? is there not enough? I mean it's good that people are stopping to rip off people on prosthetic limbs. Especially kids. It's a good thing.
Faith is belief without evidence. This video is evidence. Faith is not necessary.
GsBBoyDan Muh..dude, this is argument is like a circle without a beginning. I can now say "But wouldn't there be evidence without a little of faith?" And then you say something contradicting and so it goes. I was just happy that not all people are ***holes and someone decided not to rip off children. Still am!
tigurius555 pointless and hollow prediction really. There is no way you or me is going to know when I will lose faith next time. Or will I at all.
I think this is fantastic, the Microsoft ad is appropriately placed they helped make this content available for us. Keep up the work great cause. Seeing the kids brightened up my day.
As an aspiring biomedical engineer, this video puts me on hype mode
600 people don't like 3D printers and kids having arms
I know right
+Madison robson thats what i thought too
no sense your comment, but as i can see, the corp of Winchows had manipulated your mind too---
look around, search a little, research a little about all the investigation there have been done, it's not a Win idea o monopoly. Try to join some group, but please, don't buy Winchows marketing lies..please
That's terrible
So is my Dick. It never get used anymore.
Is this an endorsement for Microsoft OneNote? Yes. Does that matter? Not really. The point of this video is the use of technology to improve the lives of others. I fully support this group making affordable prosthetics, esepcially for children, and if they can get more funding or financial help and more exposure through a Microsoft OneNote endorsement, more power to them. This is incredible.
Indeed! IF we get funding or financial help.
I know this is a WILD opinion of mine, but most of the content-producers i like and respect don't endorse a product if they know it's bad and no one uses it. No one seems to be considering that maybe OneNote is actually a good product! We all like and use products every day right??? So why not be happy at the information about another one that is used by great people!
I've used OneNote. It's not bad at all. I use Google Drive and Google Docs now because in invested in Google's ecosystem, but OneNote is not a bad product. I don't know why everyone is getting all up in arms about it. It's an endorsement. People endorse products. Veritasium is endorsing a GOOD product, unlike others.
Whatever. The video was still awesome, regardless of product placement.
I personally don't like Microsoft gaining advertising exposure for commercial gain from my non-commercial licensed Flexy-Hand that is on the end of this arm, but I guess that's my problem and nobody else's.
Sam Medley, Steve Wood is the one who designed the Flexy-Hand. Ivan Owen is the "...inventor of the first 3D printable prosthetic hand." mentioned in the video. It is important that they get credit for their work. :) And it only would've taken a few extra words added to that sentence to do so.
Yay Microsoft ad... Way to ruin an awesome thing.
Stuff needs funding.
I agreed with you, but I thought about it and notice that they said that they need more funding. So this ad is nessecary that awesome thing.
Sure, but from Microsoft? I wouldn't trust Microsoft with this...
Ben RK Dude it's not a Microsoft owned company - it's sponsored by Microsoft. I think it's a great thing that they're helping these student led projects to better the world, who cares if their reasoning is PR? Still makes a difference.
"How dare Microsoft sponsor a project that produces cheap prosthetic limbs to kids! Now I have to listen to a short snip of information about a product I don't care about!" No one likes ads, but they are required for projects like this. TH-cam wouldn't be where it is now without ads. Same as this project, they're accepting advice, funding through donations etc... but the real money will come from this sponsor, which will help them develop cheap prosthetic limbs for kids.
I've seen a few vids about Albert and his team, and the work they are doing to make prosthetics more easily available to the kids that need them, and I've literally been moved to tears by what they are doing.
Albert and co., keep doing what you are doing. You are all amazing. Best wishes x
These guys are Real Heroes.... Just Unbelievable And Amazing!
I though u said Unbelievable and *un*amazing
To all you haters about the Microsoft Product placement... These videos require funding, they are not free, and he's not paying for them out of pocket . Lastly it still a accomplishes a great goal of spreading awareness, so take your childish troll attitude and GTFO.
The device on which you are watching this video is the product of millions of people working to better their circumstance, i.e., for their own profit. In fact, if profit weren't a part of the equation, then you wouldn't even have this device. Why hurl shame at are our benefactors? The company that solves the affordable prosthetic problem deserves the billions coming their way.
"We don't think that anyone should profit off a kid who is missing an arm." That quote right there restored a little hope in humanity. It is amazing what can be accomplished when people stop being so damn greedy.
Damn...it really chokes me up when I hear the kid at 4:23. To think hugging with two hands is that important to him it really does mean a lot. I feel for that kid and hope he gets to achieve all that he rightfully desires.
This feels a lot like I'm being advertised to. I checked the description and apparently it's a sponsored video? This tech is amazing, but the video is still giving me this skeevy vibe.
Dude, at the end of the video, he says it's sponsored. And that's not a bad thing.
( ͡° ͜c ͡° ) Cool insult, dude.
The advertisement kicked in at about 5 minutes through the video. How would he not watch it when the only indication is "thanks to Microsoft" in the description?
Matheu Campbell I was a bit put of because I thought the deal was that youtubers should say that at the beginning of the video. I don't have a problem with sponsored videos but it just threw me off a little bit.
SilverEye Fair enough.
SilverEye What do you mean? Derek always places the ads at the end of the video. That's how its been for a while. Sure this time they mentioned it within the content, but they do actually use it.
Can all of the people complaining about Microsoft just stop? Does the fact that they're sponsored really affect what they're doing? Actually it does. It _helps_ what they're doing. The video is good, what they're doing is good, so I don't know why them getting funded by Microsoft is something to be mad about.
There is this high school grad who designed and built a prosthetic arm that is connected to 12 channels in the brain and can use articulated movements. And it is really cheap. I'm happy to see young adults trying to push the prosthetic industry forward. It hits me right in the feels.
how grateful it is, we are really lucky to live around those amazing people (i just got in high school, i kind of what to try something like this when i go to university, try to use what i've learned to make the world a better place:)
Faith in humanity restored
This kind of action gives me hope for the future, maybe one day human won't live for profit anymore, but will live life as such
This video brought a tear to my eyes, I just hope that economics people won't try to benefit from this, which will not happen..
***** History shows governments get replaced once the greed and corruption starts making the people suffer beyond what the military can handle. Democracy, communism, monarchy, republic, dictatorships, doesn't matter, all governments will fall eventually after they stop working for the people and only work for themselves. No government is immune to this. The US has it's own problems, the free market corporations have bought politicians, compared to communist countries where politicians just dip their hands into the communal pot directly.
Don't worry, that faith will be shattered in a million peaces soon enough if you keep reading the comments for to long.
zetsumeinaito wolf-pac.com
Microsucks is already profiting from this.
Don't be so naive and gullible. If these people were given absolute power, they would without a second thought cut off everyone's arm just so they can make more prosthetic arms. There is no good in humanity. None.
Gotta be honest, I don't think they've solved a problem that others couldn't, I think they've just made a cheapo version of the real thing, and it's not even an advancement in anything, big deal, they are getting on the 3D printing hype train 5 years late. Like, it's fine for giving kids confidence and it's clearly a good thing as it makes them happy, but it looks like you could fall and all of the fingers would just break into pieces, and the demo of it gripping was on an empty water bottle? Is that all it can grasp and lift? Or was that just all they had at the time to demo it to the millions that could see this video?
The real problem is the robotic arms that cost 50 grand only cost so much because of the research and development that goes in to them, and there is no infrastructure in place to manufacture them on a large scale. And the companies that are making these arms aren't looking to sell them on a large scale, instead they are just constantly making new versions and improving, and there is nothing special about them mechanically, the physical materials and technology are going to be pretty cheap. So if we want people to have well built functioning arms then somebody needs to push the development of bionic arms and get them down to a reasonable price, and while it's great for these kids, in the big picture making a barely functional cheapo version out of plastic is like putting a plaster on a knife wound.
Great products of today, like the iPhone, tablets, cars and whatever, did not just fall from the sky, it took time to evolve.
Revanth Boom Boom amen.
Um, they are solving a problem. They're solving the problem of it being too expensive to give kids arms...
they need time to grow... just because it cant be imidiate product we should give up on it? wtf
Yeah I don't the point. Why don't the kids just get the already existing 100 thousand dollar version?
550 pirates disliked this vidio :P
lol

they're just jealous they don't have fancy limbs
Its 2016 and you still don't know how to spell... smh
+Bayardo Molina dude it was a joke chill
Some people develop 3D printed guns while others produce 3D printed prosthetics.
I know which contribution to the world I'd be happiest to make.
The level of ignorance and self-righteousness in just the first 5 top comments is disgusting. 3,000,000+ children live daily with a missing limb, yet you're focused on the fact the video contained a whopping 10 seconds of product placement. Are you kidding me? Say "Microsoft" between every other word for all I care if Microsoft is helping fund and/or spread the word about this amazing organization. Love or hate Microsoft, they're doing a good thing. And by sponsoring this video, at the moment of writing this, at least 100,000 more people now know this organization exists, which is a WIN for the children whose lives are changed for the better because of them. Did you not see the amount of joy and appreciation in the kid's face when he leaped out of his chair to give Derek a hug? I teared up seeing how genuinely grateful he was. To see so many people focus on the product placement really saddens me.
Mr. Gates is actually helping. Absolutely nice.
It's funny how people still think Bill Gates is directly connected to Microsoft
Gates was always a nice guy when it comes to charity.
And secondly, he's retired from MS now so he doesn't actually have anything to do with this.
Bill Gates has no connections to this project, but he has actually been helping millions of people survive disease for more than a decade with the charity he runs with his wife. He's pretty directly responsible for an 80% decrease in global Malaria deaths since 2005. There used to be a common remark about how Bill Gates was so rich, if he spent a million dollars per day, he wouldn't run out of money before his death. The reality is that Bill Gates actually spends more $1 million per day on average investing into these philanthropic endeavors.
It's really heart warming to know that people are doing such good things in the world with new tech. :D
When the kid said he was exited to hug with two arms, I cried
Probably the most useful youtube channel. Great work, Derek.
Greetings from India :)
with these upgrades, you never stood a chance.
wow..........just wow.......
Bo3 player
***** It was a harmless joke,why be so sensitive?is there a point?
GG 😂😂😂😂👌
***** sorry, how was this rude? I just made a bo3 reference...
This is the kind of stuff that gets me excited for college. Making a difference in the world. Creating things to help people out
I know a team of 3 students from ASU who did the same thing last year... It's amazing what technology enables us to create
Totally should've asked a the end of the video, "What do you have to say to the people that think you're limited because of the way you were born?" and then one of the kids should've flipped off the camera with his prosthesis. The ideas you get at midnight man, I should really be sleeping right now.
Smokey wtf ur supposed to be stopping fires
hahaHAHAHA some help me cut my arm off
ME TOO LMAO (FOR PEOPLE THAT DONT KNOW WHAT LMAO MEANS IT MEANS LAUGHING MY ASS OFF
A good back-story to help small teams produce low-cost prosthetics. Good filming of the basic technical approach (without being too complex) and good user-interviews!
.. I so wish we lived in a world where people do, nothing BUT help one another in such an amazing way! Thanks guys! You make the world a better place, for people who deserve everything positive in their lives... children!
Wow, honestly people. If it were any other company sponsoring this project and funding the stuff these guys are trying to achieve here, would you guys be so butthurt about it? Microsoft has got the money and the power to do something about this problem, yet you are too shortsighted to notice that they are actually HELPING.
This video actually restored my hope in humanity a bit. Until i read the comment section...
Yup, we're screwed...
I'd prefer a comment at the start of this sort of video saying that it's sponsored by Microsoft.
Agree! Why not being upfront? Would have been no big deal and shed a better light on the video content.
I'd prefer you grow up a bit and realize what it takes to make these things possible. Good god, so many people still holding mommy's hand and demanding cookies...
what is the problem with microsoft?
*sigh*
illitero I have no problem that he's made a video that's sponsored by Microsoft. I am saying I'd prefer to know that it's sponsored before watching it.
Zeke Aeloen I think that you misunderstand the situation. This isn't a matter of watching the explanation that Microsoft sponsored the ad. It's a matter of not knowing it's an advertisement until the end of a 7 minute video.
The ending hug was nice. The kid is mature for his age. Which is Always the case for people who go through hardships. And probably those arms will help them find a part of what a normal childhood should be.
It is important to understand how to allow them to have a childhood nevertheless.
I don't know what does childhood mean and never will, and it will always make me think"maybe that's why" in specific social situations.
"We don't feel like people should profit off a kid with no arm." That is one of the most amazing things I ever heard
flashlight on those arms?
+Felix Hu iron man design. yeah.
guns on those arms?
+mr. Whitaker transforming knife on that arm?
you do realize some of these kids will have the knowhow to make mods for these arms..... like sling shots or nerf dart launchers.... or just straight up have a retractable knife on it in the future lol
notStevenBird if you don't understand that simple line of high school level printed English than I feel sorry for your parents for having raised you XD
Who could dislike this, you are the cruel people of world who destroy peoples dreams. Im very greatful happy see smiles child and adult have new proposed arm or leg they receive. Skys the limit maybe one day science will be joke so people dont have look down on others, world is one being itself so treat her as you do to yourself not hard.
Or we disliked underhanded native advertising.
the world is vast large sphere everything takes one step start something, that creates another step eventually we call that walking gradually that turns to running. Humans brain needs constant want and need discover and learn every person givin that will. so you dont have get upset cause you want just sit not learn.
Imagine printing that in all sorts of cool colors and stuffs. Amazing! Revolutionary!
"I don't feel like people should profit from a child that doesn't have an arm." dem words don made mi cry.
Nice hidden Microsoft commercial.
Don't think we didn't notice...
yeaa soooo secret
#hidden
Microsoft is sponsoring them, that ad helps fund this project.

I think it is awesome that the other kids didn't bully him, but actually think he is cool... this can be a great deal for the kid accepting himself as part of society and deal better with his situation.
i am sooo happy to see this moving forward

Just become a powerpuff girl. Works every time
+Herny Chen yea! Duh but how would it grow back.
+Nathan Chen From what I've heard from people who have lost them, you still feel the limb that was removed, as the brain doesn't recognise that the nerve simply 'ends' so it imagines feeling in the limb that's no longer there.
Ok. This is the one thing I have seen on the internet that has restored my hope in humanity. Most of the stuff we hear about is esoteric development that has no future outside of a lab, within a human lifespan anyway, or all of the things that we are doing to destroy our world for our great-great-grandchildren. Thank you so much Veritasium for showing this to the world... we kind of needed it.
"...I want to hug with two hands." Wow, that was beatifull!
who the freak thumbs down a project like this??
They probably liked the video so much they turned there phone upside down and liked it
the $20,000 people...
Heartless people
People that can only print at 0.3 layer height with 0.25mm clearance
Amazing development!
Wow this really makes you appreciate what you have
Those kids are tough. I can't imagine what life would be like without being able to even play video games. Those things are part of what made me. I feel so touched.
Why in hell are you guys so pissed by this small Microsoft ad? Did you ever thought about the costs of making videos like this. This ad doesnt hurt anyone and simply makes more content possible on this channel. If you guys watched some videos on this channel you should know, that they don't produce videos only for making money.
It's sort of interesting how he keeps touching his stump (is stump the correct term these days? Probably not, huh?).
I don't know why I find it interesting, but, well, there it is.
On another note, I remember seeing some sort of video about bebionic prosthetic limbs, which use a similar method to control the hand (muscles on upper arm to open and close hand) and at the time I wondered why nobody had done it before or done it cheaper. I'm assuming the answer to the latter has something to do with patents.
***** Thank you.
+Bob Woggle The correct term is "residual limb"
+ukrainianbeauty19 I don't have a hand, and I personally prefer calling it a hand, or arm, depending on the situation.
Stefano Pastre I am an amputee also (right leg) and am also finishing my degree to be licensed in this field. I was just giving him the "academically" correct term. I call it a leg and arm too! It's weird to think or talk of it as anything else :)
My alma mater. I was super proud UCF was in national news for this. Having one of the largest student body it's not like they need the advertisement. But UCF has one of the best engineering programs in the country. With top notch internships and recruitments: Siemen, Lockheed, Northrop, NASA, Disney and Universal.
This makes me unbelievably happy, and proud of humanity, and proud of the downtrodden for their strength and proud of creators for their altruism and just, proud of what it means to be human.
I almost wanna cut my arm off. (Not really.) but still awesome though.
+Raiden K. make sure its the non-dominant amerite
+Hi Cow Lmao.
why cut when you can have 4 arms
Bass Face because it needs a stump to attach to.
+Raiden K. you'll see just wait.....
First time I've heard someone say that 3D printing is cheap
imagine, paying 200$ for just 10-100 meters of plastic
+Oliver Johansson Personal 3D printing is expensive, but if a company or a university have access to them, they end up being cheaper then having to order specific items/parts.
My school has a 3D printer we have to pay for the materials but u get to do some awesome things.
Well like compared to the 40.000$ price! :o
+Oliver Johansson It's cheaper to use an existing 3D printer rather than a specialized machine that can only mold one thing.
The level of excellence of your videos is remarkable ! Keep rocking !
7:05 I love him! ❤️ I wanna give him a hug too!
I really want one of these
Do you really only have one hams or is this some kind of sick joke?
DUUUDEEE, retroo, remember me from your old server? Cvaldes? Miss the crap out of you
Be happy with the limbs you got. Or sat least wait to when the arms are fully functional like a real arm. And theeeen amputate your arm. Simple.
Ryan The Blah dude i have 1 limb im pretty sure i qualify for one of these
OneHandedWarrior | The One-Handed PvPer It's like even with the heavy hint in your comment, they still make assumptions.
Is Deus Ex one day possible? That we can fully control the mechanical limbs
Scientifically speaking, fully functional, articulate, and enhanced prosthetic limbs like the ones in Deus Ex are entirely possible. In fact, we could probably do it now. Unfortunately, at the moment, they would likely cost millions, possibly even billions of dollars for all of the intricate parts and surgery that would need to go into developing one quickly.
It already is
ashley osborne no, it will happen in our lifetime. If we can already do this much it's easily going to happen in our life time. Technology is moving faster than you think.
You mean duce sex? Like when you take a dump on a girls chest? That is possible actually
Yes, it will one day be possible (for reasonable pricing). And to say that it won't happen in our lifetime is limiting thinking. We won't get anywhere in the world if we just think the generations beyond ours will do it instead of us.
That's such a noble thing to do. Kudos to everyone on the project. Keep doing the great work
It’s been seven years and I haven’t heard of anybody else getting that kind of arm. Why not?
what are those chairs in the beginning called
priorities, man.

"we don't feel like people should profit from children without an arm" - wonderful, however, the profit motive of gaining & maintaining a differential advantage others needs to be retired, it is an inefficient way to distribute resources, erodes collaborative efficiency & produces excessive concentrations of wealth.
We are faced with what to replace capitalism with in the context of a technological post scarcity society. The best proposed socioeconomic system I'm aware of today is a "Resource Based Economy"
How is Resource Based Economy a replacement for capitalism?
a bit too far in thinking, aren'tcha
Tyler Petresky came to our school last year and talked about the 3D printed limbs :) it was really cool
I love the little Microsoft one note advert
CoolAs The economy is going to be so different in 10 - 20 years because of 3D printing technology.
3D print momeyz :D
+ABOODY very true. It brings production into countries. Less shipping. Which is a huge plus!
I was completely on-board with this video until it turned into a Microsoft advertisement. See, I'm one of those people who are annoyed by ads, and they create a negative reaction in me. It's awesome that Microsoft is getting involved with this project, but I don't need them paying people to tell me how great their products are. I quit watching this video around the 5-minute mark.
Alright. Microsoft doesn't sponsor them and the team cat get enough funding to create an incredibly helpful project. Bear through it.
Yea i dont like it that mutch either. But when its a great product like this and really its more about the revelution of this pruduct then microsoft onenote. BUT there (vertasium/the desingers)need ad money to stay alive and keep doing what they are doing
ThatAweSomeRandomGamer It's unfortunate that the world works that way, at least in America.
I guess the only thing to do is to bend over and take it. May as well, since the country is being overrun by pussies.
Money makes the world go round M. Strange it's not only in America and if it gives them more funding then you shouldn't care if they put an ad especially sense they put the mentioning of it at the end of the video so you could literally just turn off the video and miss the ad.
M. Strain Jr. It's a few seconds of advertisemnet to fund their project. Seems like a fair trade to me.
I don't even mind the OneNote product placement, because that software really does rock.
The little guy got another 3d printed bionic arm a few months ago. It was designed to look like Iron Man's arm and it was given to him by Robert Downey Jr. in character as Tony Stark. I know it was probably just a publicity stunt for the actor, but hell - the kid was born without an arm and now he's Iron Man. How awsome is that?
647 people disliked the video thinking it as a Microsoft commercial
poor kid wants to play video games with it
MonkeyFace yes its a great arm and it works great for the purpose of being a placeholder until he's older and can get a nice one, but he has no control besides close and open.
JoshDoesEverything Ah, kkk
Even simple hugs , high-five , shake hand , can be someone's dream which we never take seriously....
Don't complain for not having something and be thankful for what you have.
One of the creators/engineers that helped create this came to our school and gave us a speech and presentation. He did actually talk about Alex.
