A HEART WITH WINGS: Scientists (who have only our best interests at heart and are in no way looking to create a cyborg army or a race of super intelligent robots that will one day supplant human civilization) have recently announced two small, incremental steps towards giving me something I've dreamed of since childhood: a giant pair of robot wings that I can control with my mind.

Step One: prosthetics with limited neural interface.

Step two (and this is the kind of out-of-the-box thinking I expect from our cutting edge researchers): a moth with wheels.

I did say they were small steps.
