Instead of using the iFoot couldn't you...just...walk?

Not if you're wheelchair-bound. This technology could lead to a revolution in mobility aids for the disabled, funded by the "early adopters" with money to burn on geeky toys.

Walking too retro.

I'm presuming that the idea is that it can:

1. Give mobility to those who can't walk.

2. Allow a person to carry a lot more cargo than he could heft in a backpack, for longer distances.

3. Cover ground faster than a person could.

4. Travel over terrain people have trouble negotiating, perhaps, like jagged rocks, hot volcanic tuff, shallow waters, etc.

Next you'll be having us jogging. I will not listen.

Couch potatos of the world, DO NOTHING!

Shalom.
