    You know what, wireless prosthetics could be useful even for those of us who have both hands.

    We can basically go full General Grievous and do so many things at once

      Unfortunately the limitations there are probably in the brain not the limb. For example, can you competentely do two things at once with each of your hands?

        Fair, but do you have to manipulate them at the same time? Most of the time we use our hands to hold something, or do very simple repetitive movements. This doesn’t require much brain power to do, and is still very useful. For example, such arms could hold our bags, while our natural ones can do whatever else.
