Bionic eye gives blind man sight


So check this out

So some coughryancough may think I'm a bit idealistic with my opinions on science, but this shit is ridiculous.

Let's seriously step back and consider this for a second.  My last post was about lasers on the battlefield.  Now we're talking about a man who has not seen anything for 30 years can now (albeit in a very limited fashion) see.  That's fucking ridiculous.

Hopefully with increased spending in science and research, plus the ability to somehow avoid a depression, we will continue to see more of this stuff.  While we've had the discussion that we haven't necessarily created any "new" technologies since the internet and we're still using the same tools we've had since the 80s and 90s, I think this is an example of how we haven't done all we can yet with the technologies we do have.  

If you disagree that's fine, but all I'm going to say to you is "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS GUY WAS BLIND AND NOW HE CAN SEE DUDE" and end the discussion there.

Also, I think it's kind of funny that this guy is seeing things for the first time in 30 years and his wife has him doing laundry.
