New York, NY (November 29, 2007) – From the Cool as Shit File comes this dandy of a video. 

CNN.com ran this two days ago, and it’s generated big hits on their website.  Scientists and engineers in Utah have developed an incredibly nimble exoskeleton that can respond directly to a human’s individual muscle movement.  The possibilities for future generations of these exoskeletons extend from the mundane (assisting soldiers in heavy-lifting) to the ultra-crunk (check out the futuristic Halo/Storm Trooper suits at the end that are likely to be bullet, flame and chemical resistant – with opposable thumb and finger joint movement). 

No word yet on when the future finally becomes a reality.
