So, what would you do if you lost an arm? Thanks to some sophisticated technology, one of those things shouldn't be giving up hope on living a close to normal life again.

Nigel Ackland lost his arm six years ago in an accident, and because of Bebionic, he is able to do some of the things he never thought he would do again. Bebionic's V3 prosthetic hand kind of looks like something that will haunt you and your family for generations to come, but it's a second chance at regaining a normal life. In his video, Nigel is able to deal cards, tie shoes and make himself a cup of coffee. Other than the carbon-fiber look, the entire hand and forearm look surprisingly lifelike. In a few more years, it should look even better.

It's the little things we take for granted.
