Bionic eye heralds cyborg revolution

An electronic eye that works like the real thing foreshadows the development of a new generation of bionic eyes and other “cyborg” technology seen in the film “Terminator” and other Hollywood sci-fi movies.

The electronic eye uses a curved detection surface like a human eye, made of “stretchable electronics.”

The first of its kind, the bionic eye produces exceptional images with lower distortion and with a broader field of view than possible with conventional flat camera microchips.

However, the underlying approach to producing flexible electronic surfaces of silicon chip sensors could find uses in moulding chips to the human body and ’smart’ prosthetics, leading to new opportunities for doctors to boost the body with electronics.

Conventional imaging technologies have been developed for use in rigid semiconductor materials, glass plates and plastic sheets, all of which are flat in nature.

The new technique creates an array of silicon detectors and electronics in a stretchable, interconnected mesh that allows flat layouts to be transformed into curved shapes.

   This is a lousy article. No picture? Nothing but a blurb

   Well at the end of the article you can see a link. “Full Article Here”. Maybe that could help you.

   I’m sick of it myself. What’s the point of posting part of the article? Post the whole thing, that’s what used to be done on this site.

   This is so relevant as the cyborg revoulution is the reason the elite will exterminate humanity. Unless we can stop them. Call it post-humanism.

   How about doing what Alex says for you all to do. Research!

   Don’t you think that just maybe, because he didn’t allow the full article of anything up on here, is a way of kinda trying to motivate you people into looking for yourselves. Or do you just use this site and dont look across all the wide range of news sites there are out there telling you this and in more detail?

   Seems to me some people are just too Lazy. Don’t blame this Website. Alex is doing us a MASSIVE favour.

   If you don’t like the way somethings done. Do it Yourself! =)

   Research your own Truth

   *Peace Love & Light*

   Well this isn’t about Cyborg Eyes but is just about as good:
   ‘Carbon Nanotube Radio’ the size of an atom or two. These ‘Nanoprobe’ devices from the University of Berkeley Physics dept. could they admit hypothetically be injected into the human bloodstream. The first step towards the ‘Interlink’ transceivers (transmitter recievers) used by the Borg in startrek. A big leap of faith admittedly but actually two steps in one. Microscopic radios and injectable nano-probes in one step!

   “We have constructed a fully functional, fully integrated radio receiver, from a single carbon nanotube”.

   Layla by Eric Clapton (Derek & the Dominos) was the first song transmitted over the Nano-probe radio:

   @Wally

   “What’s the point of posting part of the article?”

   Avoiding lawsuits?

   “Post the whole thing”

   And commit a copyright violation.

   I doubt Alex Jones wants to give anyone the ability to sue the pants off him.

   Bionic Eye?? Sweet.. I’ll take 3 of them!

   what is the point in getting interested in this article if there is no meat to it….?
