A Russian engineer with physical impairment has designed and developed an Iron-Man style arm. Maxim Lyashko and his team recently illustrated their vision for hi-tech yet affordable prostheses through a bionic arm developed in his lab in Moscow. The invention called Max-Bionic is believed to be the country’s first 3D printed bionic arm. Lyashko lost his arm during an accident in 2013 that prompted him to come up with a cheaper option than prosthetics developed in other countries. The bionic arm can be operated via an external power source and through what is called “phantom management”. This means that the prosthesis is programmed to respond to a person’s thoughts with the movement they intend to create.  The developer is also proud of how autonomous the whole production process has been. The prosthesis is rated at 15-hundred dollars while foreign products with the same function cost 25-thousand dollars and higher.

There's no question being an elite pro athlete pays very, very well. But consider this: The career span for an athlete is short and the rank-and-file pros don't get paid nearly so much as the top players. In the NFL, the average career length is 3.5 years with the lifetime earning potential of $3,010,000,  according to tech job site Paysa.  In the MLB, the average career length is 5.6 years with the lifetime earning potential of $2,912,000. Things are better in the NBA, where the average career lasts 4.8 years with the lifetime earning potential of $12,027,456. None of that is chicken scratch. But if you factor in the number of people who try to become pro sp...
