RE: We All Will Be "Iron Man" Soon

This will also be huge for disabled people or rehab after injury/accidents, only concern I have is people relying so much on these at some point that muscle atrophy will become a serious issue. Even right now with simple braces and stuff I'm very careful to only use it when needed instead of just leaving it on as a preventive measure.
What do you think about implications for sports? You think there will be an exo-league in certain types of sports? It could be pretty exciting once the technology advances.

Those with disabilities can certainly benefit in a great way. It will also help those who are aged and suffering from those things that harm us as we get older.
Sports is an interesting question. With the increase in eSports, I have a feeling many physical sports, at least as a spectator sport, will diminish.
But we will see. It might be like PEDs, they will have to be banned to prevent too many advantages.

Agreed, I do believe eSports and physical sports can coexist and will probably do that for the foreseeable future. With PEDs you have the ethical discussion of the harm done to the body and some using it and some not (I do think there's a lot of pro's taking it on cycle that we haven't found out about) but with the exoskeleton it could possibly prevent injuries and increase spectacle and at the same time it's fair since nobody can hide it (at least for now) they'd just need a separate league.
Good point on the elderly, might actually be worth living longer with increased mobility
