Bionic Contact Lenses

I never could get used to the idea of inserting crafted plastic upon my eyeball, let alone the notion of some highly trained LASIK tech zapping my cornea with a laser, so I'm equally squeamish of this cyborg tech for the new millennium. Resistance is futile.

Imagine having night vision goggles, binoculars, and your favorite video game system all in your contacts. A University of Washington team created the lens. The contacts are filled with electronics and embedded with a wireless display.
I think sales at your local WalMart is a few years off seeing that the wizbang geeks still haven't figured out how to wirelessly power it up. But, soon enough, you will be assimilated! Hahahahahahaha! Watch the video.
