Yesterday, I came across a Wired article about a microchip in development at MIT that can be implanted in the eye, giving some vision to the blind.
What a truly beautiful use of technology. Using the hard tools of titanium and electrodes, science will be able to give the visually-impaired a chance to experience what most of us take for granted—being able to see enough to navigate in an unfamiliar room.
It made me stop and consider how technology has become an equalizer in so many ways. Check out the article to learn more.
Very nice. I’ll take the upgraded version that shoots laser beams and offers x-ray vision.
