If the government or the cops or some agency decided they wanted to act as "Big-Brother", then we might not evre find out. The F-117 stealth military aircraft was only a legend for 15 years, the best kept secret in the military history of the USA. (Or was it? There could be others - that we have never heard of ofcourse...) The point is that the government and military allways seem to be one srep ahead. Why should there not be someone monitoring us normal people and the things we do? If they have got one of these things organized in your neighborhood, you might never even hear of it. What would then happen if a guy was unlucky enough to tell a friend a joke about. Saddam Husain and a revolution? - You never know...
An article I read on this subject said that he will not gain any GOOD eyesight because of this chip implant. He will be able to see his piano (so much for that joke *sight*:o) but he will not be able to read normal text. He will only be able to make out larger clearer shapes. It dosen`t sound to me as if this will be able to help you out that much directly on you programming, but it is nevertheless a great breakthrough, and in the future it can only get better. Maby someday we will be able to create systems that can see as good as our original eyes, and communicate properly with our brain, giving the blind the posibility to see again! Good luck! -PsI®
