Bionic limbs?

It's happening:

Scientists in the US have created a robotic arm that can be controlled by thought alone.

Developed at Pittsburgh University, it has a fully mobile shoulder and elbow and a gripper that works like a hand. ...

The monkeys in the experiment were able to grasp and hold food with the robotic arm while their real arms were restrained.

Amazing. But I still want to know where my freaking flying car is.
