cbs, robots and cripples

While I find the tone of this cbs news piece mildly condescending, it’s subject is of great interest. It demonstrates the extent to which we cripples can now use robots can do almost anything, from shaving to remotely exploring museums. Some of the tech it showcases looks very interesting, which made it worth flagging up on here, although I think it also demonstrates how our american friends may be some time behind us in media attitudes to disability and the use of disabling language.
