I guess you had to try to ding it somewhere. Whatever.

Well, I suppose that could be handy for a lot of folks. Much as one may make light, there are a lot of people in this country and others that have mobility problems, and taking care of them is a multibillion dollar expense that I'm sure everyone wishes could be used in other ways. Something like gives folks more autonomy and reduces the need for human assistance, which is increasingly scarce and costly in the US and Japan. And if it gives someone with severe arthritis, back problems, hip problems, or some other disease the ability to get up and around on their own, I'm all for it.
As for using it with factory workers, that does seem rather dystopian, but not much more than the period we're already it. Wake up and smell the dystopia people, the future is now.

This is the sort of stuff I would really enjoy testing. Like, jump down 30 flights of stairs, see if I break my legs.
