Generally, I don't care for new technology - I am something of a Luddite, and think most new technology does more harm than good to society. AI particularly scares me. However, there are some new technologies that I can get behind. I read an article today about some motorized pants that will help with hiking. These are contraptions that you attach to your trousers that provide more leg power. I approve. There are a ton of hikes in the Pacific Northwest that I would love to do but won't even consider because they involve too much elevation change - my Achilles heel. If these motorized pants work as effectively as they claim, then that opens up all kinds of new hiking possibilities. It won't be long until we are all wearing exoskeletons of some kind and have turned into cyborgs. If AI hasn't killed all of us before then.
