It's also interesting for depicting how fragile the continued existence of life on Earth is when
a simple microscopic life form can quickly regenerate and spread, causing potential calamity to anyone unlucky enough to come into contact with it.
The 500 - pound, 5 - foot - tall robot was much larger than the 12 - pound, 32 - inch - tall monkey whose neural signals were directing it, and this underscored a
simple yet remarkable point: Implant technology could enable brainpower to control a huge object (like a robot crane) or a tiny one (like a
microscopic surgical tool) just as easily as a
life - size mechanical arm.
