Out on a Limb

I've been writing away on final papers, which has taken me away from blogging.  But I figured this was worth sharing because it is FASCINATING -- a new documentary on prosthetics called Out on a Limb:

Obviously, I really want to see this film.  It sounds like it will also focus on the relationship between the military industrial complex and the development of advanced prosthetic technologies, which is of great interest to me.  In fact, the film's website indicates that this project was sparked by recent wars: "advances in prosthetics always coincide with wars. But the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have spurred unprecedented focus and funding, just as emerging technologies and developments in neuroscience are providing opportunities that never existed before."

This is helping me to make an argument in one of my final papers as well since my professor and I have been in a semester long debate about whether or not I can make the claim that current prosthetic technologies are creating new relationships between the body and technology (she says I can't, and I say I can).
