Bionic Eye

In my Com 435 class, I wrote a critical paper about the "Bionic Eye." The Bionic I will allow you to have infer red vision, zoom in and out, get information about places and things that you are currently looking at, create virtual cross-hairs and holographic driving panels, it also allows you to surf the web and play video games. Basically it's like an iPhone, but instead of using a touch screen you are using your eyes....Oh yeah, it also gives sight to the blind. What I wrote about in my paper is the use of identity with cyborgs. Cyborgs can change how we as humans label ourselves, it can change how we think and do things, and could change our identity. All of which is a scary thought. Here is a video about how the bionic eye gives vision to the vision impaired. Giving the blind sight is what the bionic eye is used for now, but soon, all the capabilities that I've listed above will be available for everyone.

NCIS: Los Angeles

(Picture at www.buddytv.com)
I was watching NCIS Los Angeles on Tuesday. Although I've been watching this tv show since the beginning of the series I've just noticed how call the technology they use are. I guess being in Com 435 for so long I start paying attention to things I like that. Well, after that episode I wanted to see was the technology real, had it really been invented. Well, it has. ( Picture at www.knowfirst.wordpres.com) It's too long and complicated for me to explain, but I'll give a brief overview of what it is. So, one of the technology is like google map, but 3D and it's updated more often. Another one is like this huge iPhone, but on a projector screen. They have about 3-4 projector screens in the room, whatever item is on one projector screen, they can slide that item to another project screen with just the flick of their wrist. Tech Info Video.
