Imagine this: while the world was still stuck with black-and-white TVs and rotary phones, Serbian scientists in Belgrade were busy making history in 1963 by creating the world’s first bionic hand! Yes, you read that right. While others were just dreaming about functional artificial prosthetics, our engineers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and experts from the Mihajlo Pupin Institute were already revolutionizing the game. This hand wasn’t just any prosthetic – it was a technological bomb that blew past the capabilities of its time. The city of Belgrade proudly highlights this achievement as a symbol of innovation and proof that Serbian science was already a step ahead decades ago. Imagine how tough it must have been, how smart and persistent they had to be to create something the world only started developing decades later! This story isn’t just about technology; it’s about pride, about people who believed in the future and made it real. If you think this is just another boring science story, think again – it’s proof that Serbia’s got brains and can compete with the best. So, who’s ready to comment on how cool this is? Or maybe you have a funny take on how a bionic hand could help you open a jar of ajvar? Come on, don’t be shy!
