In less than 3 years, he was making a prototype limb for under $500 that was actually interfacing
with the nervous system of its owner.
What’s more, he is only doing this to make the world a better place! He could have made millions on his discoveries thus far, but instead, he releases all his intellectual property to the world by making them open sourced!
At age 19 he founded Unlimited Tomorrow, a company with the aim to make affordable yet extraordinary robotic limbs. Take a look at what youth can do when they are left to follow their passions:

A TED Talk by Easton! He is so authentic: funny, nervous, passionate. What a delight! Take a look if you have a few more minutes.

Great stuff! Lovely to see a future “thought leader” just getting started, and it does rekindle the flame of hope a bit.
Keep reminding yourself that the negative 24-hour news cycle is only showing us the dramatic dramas of the “outliers”.
Meanwhile, stay open, curious, and hopeful!
