The 2nd Global Future 2045 International Congress, recently held in New York City, discusses various scientific innovations and ideas for the future. The presenter of the event suddenly made an announcement for which no one was ready.

The host of the event patiently asked everyone to listen to a speaker, as that was the first time in his life that he had the experience of speaking at a public meeting. A man named Nigel Auckland started his presentation.

He lost his right hand in an accident about 6 years ago. After several months of surgery, his hand could not be saved. Rather a cosmetic hand (just like a looking hand, but of no use) occupied the place. Mr. Auckland was devastated. A man who was once a music lover gradually became more and more frustrated.

But early last year, a new light of hope came into Auckland’s life Appeared. A UK-based bionic technology company invited him to take part in a trial using the bibionic 3 robotic arm. In response, Auckland implanted a bionic arm with his arm muscles. It uses signals coming from the brain to the muscles to move. Mr Auckland is incredibly happy with his new hand. He can rotate it 360 degrees. He uses it to press the keyboard, move the mouse, perform daily chores and even cook.

All in attendance were silent and stunned to hear Nigel Auckland.

This B-Bionic arm runs on a rechargeable battery. The device can be used full time the next day by fully charging it every night. Mr Auckland described his new hand as a “great gift” for physical liberation as well as mental liberation.

While technology comes to most people as laptops, tablets or smartphones, for Auckland, technology is now an integral part of his life. In the video below, see for yourself how Nigel Auckland works with that bionic hand.
