Researchers have developed the first bionic hand ("Smart Hand") to not only operate directly from signals from the brain, but also provide tactile feedback so the wearer can feel with the hand:

This is the first time a bionic limb has approached the functional capabilities of a real hand.
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
