Default Carbon Fibre: Not Quite There Yet.

Well, we might be quite a long way off Carbon Fibre bones, but we do have quite a few odd carbon fibre tid-bits in the world - as listed by Gizmodo.

Carbon fiber is really nothing special. Think of it as lighter, stonger, and cooler looking fiberglass.

Those are neat stuff although I disagree on the "Carbon Fiber bones are still far off" thingy I'll explain why

We know that in our day and age technology advances ~21.000% times faster than all previous centuries, save for the 20th. We got sth newer almost every day. The science of surgery also advances quickly. All they have to do is make a precisely perfect bone that matches the real one 100%. Machine precision is nothing difficult nowadays. And then they just replace it with a surgery. Thats not difficult for bones that dont have muscles attached on them. For those that do, however....this will take longer.

1 thing is for sure. We'll see great things in our time ^^

CB is nothing, what you really want is boron fiber. Lighter and twice as strong as carbon fiber.
