Reminds me of the movie...

Matt Damon - Elysium
Tom Cruise - Edge of Tomorrow


On a serious note though...

The exoskeleton suitX is developed by a group of university students and developed for adults and children with neurological disorders that affect their gait, such as spinal cord injuries, stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and cerebral palsy. The SuitX is made up of three different components named after the parts of your body they’re protecting: the BackX; the LegX to make it easier to hold a crouched position; and the ShoulderX to reduce strain when working above your head. With the LegX, you can squat for hours without feeling any strain in your legs or knees. It’s like having your own personal chair that goes with you everywhere.

A change is needed in our education system...we should be pioneers and not just receipients of hand-me-downs...that's why we have research in schools

If we have the basic knowledge of how things work, we can always fabricate and integrate technology in areas where there is a need for advanced tech

Good thinking, good product. Result of consistently putting brains to work innovatively, rather than putting brains to argue about politics, religion & tribalism.

This exoskeleton called SuitX is designed to make you 10 times stronger and make you feel like iron man. These exoskeletons are designed to enhance your strength and help prevent injuries when performing repetitive tasks and can make you carry heavy objects which you normally cannot be able to carry. Apart from that, this suitX will be able to make people who are permanently confine to wheel chairs as a result of spinal cord injuries to be able to work again.



The exoskeleton suitX is developed by a group of university students and developed for adults and children with neurological disorders that affect their gait, such as spinal cord injuries, stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and cerebral palsy. The SuitX is made up of three different components named after the parts of your body they’re protecting: the BackX; the LegX to make it easier to hold a crouched position; and the ShoulderX to reduce strain when working above your head. With the LegX, you can squat for hours without feeling any strain in your legs or knees. It’s like having your own personal chair that goes with you everywhere.




According to a lady who wore the exoskeleton, she said “I feel superhuman. I just lifted a 50 pound box like it weighed almost nothing — no gym time required. I’m wearing an exoskeleton by SuitX that’s ing my back, using a clever system of springs and clutches to give me a boost”. The suitX can replace the wheel chair in the nearest future if the developers succeed in making it accessible for everyone while making it cheaper and affordable.

Just like seismic underwear. I believe both we be cheaper in the nearest future. When mobile phone was first developed , it can only be accessed by rich individual but now, almost everyone can afford it.

However. I think we should be careful with this kind of technology, creating technologies that will only create deeper gulfs in an already divided society where only some people will be able to afford to become enhanced while many other lose out is dangerous for now.

History is littered with the evil consequences of one group of humans believing they are superior to another group of humans,”“Unfortunately in the case of enhanced humans they will be genuinely superior. We need to think. People who can afford this object will be more superior. And it will be geniue.


There is this computerized eye glass too that can make blind people see. Yet to be fully roll out. I was surprised when watching the documentary......

Pliagarism wee nt kee Nigerians
why are you guys like this if nigerians make a duplicate of it whats the crime ? don't you use a durliaation machine? for most of your documents ? are many countries not merely doing duplicates of tech? of cars, planes, houses, ships , fridges, gas cookers, phones and all household items? humans are even making duplicates of human life. or is it only bad once its igbo? most countries thrive on duplicates but do it to thier own taste. by improving on it. take phone for example. how many brands do you know of now. yes they all started from duplicates so take your igbophobia to your family

check out what comments people made on that thread where an igbo man made a tricycle that runs on electricity and see all the hate in thier speech. now this is coming from a supposed "fellow nigerian" but see how his compatriots pour venom on that thread. and if tomorrow he says i quit and lifts up a biafra flag you will send pythons after him. AND did you not even see africa in my post or you just skipped it?
