The Next Step Toward Cyborg-ness

  

See that? That weird looking, uh, thing?  It doesn't even look like it could be anything at all, so I can't even say "look at that thing that looks like some other thing."  Anyway, its a cane. 

Apparently Lithuanian designer/engineer/robot maker Egle Ugintaite designed the cane, known as "The Aid," to have the capability to monitor heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature of its wearer/user.  It also has the ability to track the user with GPS and even has an "SOS" button to alert the police if the user gets in trouble.
