the other night i was on a website.
i saw something straight out of a sci-fi flick.
there was an accompanying video...
suffice to say, my vision is fine...but i was blown away by what i was watching.
though i wouldn't call myself a tech-head, i am intrigued by advances like this. the possibilities are extreme. if this kind of procedure were to catch on it could mean a revolution in the medical field as we know it. potentially giving birth to cybernetic medicine...i mean outside of the realm of theories and wishful thinking.
something completely tangible.
something that we've only seen in movies happening in our lifetime-
this is prosthesis how it was meant to be experienced...
so like i was saying, i'm sitting there smiling like a kid with a new toy. looking up more information, looking forward to the future. they told us we'd be pushing flying cars by now, but the only consumer innovations are plasma screens and unmanned vacuums. so forgive me for being a little nerdy about the damned robo-eyes.
20 years from now lasik could be replaced by hi-def retinal implants.
when/if that happens...we should all hope we can purchase our iBALLS (tm: apple) in peace. without some band of gypsies dribbling on about the ethical implications of artificially upgrading our bodies...
playing god by "giving sight to the blind" so to speak.
see you around,
