I wonder.. in the future, will bionic eyes ever go beyond giving sight to the blind? If these bionic eyes actually worked, why wouldn't the military want to get them, and modify them and further their purposes to include heat detection, range finding, night vision, etc, sort of like the eye of a Terminator?
...then you wouldn't have to be sitting down to eat dinner and have a Vagisil or Monistat 7 commercial come on. They aren't exactly commercials that'll encourage your appetite.
Think of this as a big investment.. You have to get the program to let you type with your eyes, and once they start to go bad from moving them around and you get eyestrain and all that, you then have to invest in contacts/glasses/eye surgery or whatever you want. Yeah, lets mess up our eyes to give our wrists a rest!
