There's a link to the article on a related device, the LongPen: > The LongPen is a remote signing device conceived of by writer Margaret Atwood in 2004 and debuted in 2006. It allows a person to remotely write in ink anywhere in the world via tablet PC and the Internet and a robotic hand. > The system was used by Conrad Black, who was under arrest, to "attend" a book signing event without leaving his home. Atwood is Canadian. Black is Canadian. Canada also makes the robot arms used on the space shuttle and the International Space Station. What is it with Canadians and robot arms?!
