I was watching the news the other day when I came across an interesting report. While some kid was getting surgery on his head, the doctors attached a little (well it was kinda big) device to his brain. Then the kid was able to play pac-man and stuff using only his mind! I was wondering, maybe one day when (It's just a matter of when) they make this tech thing smaller if they would beable to do something like that to make a fake eye. Kinda like a small camera in the eye socket that detects brain signals to move and such and sends the picture to the brain vie a small cord(s). (What would be cool is if they could give the person extra vision!!! Like see 50x further!) What do you guys think?
Has a nation changed its gods,
even though they are no gods?
But my people have changed their glory
for that which does not profit. Be appalled, O heavens, at this;
be shocked, be utterly desolate,
declares the Lord,
For my people have committed two evils;
they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves,
broken cisterns, that can hold no water . (Jer 2:11-13)
We have robotic arms that can be controlled by thoughts, to some extent limited computer programs, so yeah.... in the future I can see it happening, as for the different types of visions, I can see that maybe happening too.
While it sounds cool though, would you really want to replace a perfectly good eye for a robotic one? Even if it was 'better'?

Yeah, its only a matter of time...
Eventually job aplications will read "Enhance-o-tech 70x vision or better required".

haha that would be funny.
As towards "Would I want to replace mine?" no of course not, but it would be cool incase you loose an eye. Blindness is one thing that I don't think I could handle (Apart from not being able to hear! hey, maybe they can fix that too... But you would have a bunch of wires in your head lol Kinda like that star wars scene with the fake Darth Vader......)

sure why not, but I have a question, if we can build spaceships to the moon, why can't we build a car that gets 150 miles to the gallon (or at least 70)??????????
There have been prototype artificial eyes out for a few years now. They ahve also been installed in a few human test subjects.
The one I saw in the show was a plastic eye that had a 256 color CCD chip in the back. A CCD is the part of your digital camera that actually sees the image. The plastic eye had a CCD chip in the back and it had a cable that came out of the side of the guys head and went to a battery pack on his waist. The artifical eye was attached to the optic nerve. The guy could see objects and faces and could see but the quality was about equal to a homemade video made at night.
The new version which should have been out by now were supposed to have a 64,000 color CCD and the doctor in the interview said they could even do custom applications like Infrared and such allowing people to see in the dark.
IIRC the biggest part was improving image quality and perfecting surgery techniques to connect the eye output into a good part of the optic nerve.
Based on past stories in Science Fiction there have been occasions where the technology in the books could grow new organs and limbs and attach them except in cases where there was nerve damage.
