Quadriplegic (all 4 limbs paralyzed) is who I think you are thinking abiut. Paraplegics still have use of their arms & hands.
That said, it really is an incredible technology for those who need it. Unless I need it, I will jot let one in me.
I tend to agree that our phones are the mark of the beast (or a close equivalent). Many have made tech their god, or false idol. So many cannot stand to be away from their phone & don't know how to operate without one.
They are a great tool for sure, though individually we must make it our servant instead of our master. Turning off notifications helps quite a bit with this. If you don't get dinged, you don't have the impulse to look.
I am also praying that this technology can heal those with Parkinson's disease like Michael J. Fox. There are a great many who suffer from neurological disorders and diseases that completely disable them.
There is some tech insert that is being tested for Type 1Diabetics (went to convention about diabetes where a doctor doing the first human trials was talking). The initial test was with a product the size of a credit card & produced insulin on demand. The speaker believed they could get it down to the size of a stamp.
It is frustrating that over 10 years later they still haven't released it to the public. That doctor said in their first phase that Type 1 Diabetics didn't need any insulin & their glucose levels ran normally with no spikes.
They had just finished a 3 or 6 month trial IIRC & the next phase was to look at a trial that would last years. I am hoping the FDA didn't kill the project.

You are correct Anon! I meant quadriplegic.

Agreed, I hope this can help them.
