The blog article called, Building the Real Iron Man, is about a man named Rex Jameson, and fellow friends, pursuit to creating a working mechanical suit for the military. Many people have tried to create a fully functional suit for the last 40+ years with very little success.
The author, Gregory Mone, tries to grab the scifi, machine making, engineer, and Transformer's loving audience's attention by talking about the movie Iron Man which, at the time of the publishing, did not come out into theaters yet. He grabs their attention by describing something big trying to break through metal doors which turns out to be Iron man. He then talks about the work of Rex Jameson who, in a very similar way, is making a suit that can do the more realistic aspects of Tony Stark's Iron man suit. He tries to create an atmosphere for the audience that tells them that this once imagination driven, engineer's wet dream, is actually much closer than what was originally thought. He even throws in a few hyperlinks that lead to videos of the suit in action just in case there were those people that do not believe him.
Gregory Mone makes a very good end point to the article by generally saying that most people do not even know that we are at this point in today's engineering break through. He also makes references to other implications such as people with physical disabilities. The suits could at one point be able to support paraplegics and give them the ability to walk that they never had before or will have again. Quadriplegics can benefit from these suits just as much. These "Iron man" suits would be able to make so many physically challenged people feel normal and even the normal person would benefit from them also. The amount of benefits that can come out to these mechanical suits is staggering.
How would day to day activities be changed because of these suits?
Why should we not be pursuing this engineering break through?
How would you use one of these suits?
