Remember way back in the very first post in this particular series of ranting how I said I’d be writing about technology that people think is SciFi bullshit, except for the fact that it’s only a few years off from becoming a commercial reality, and in some cases actually already exists but isn’t widely known about?

My very first rant was on replacing your pathetic human eyes.

Well, booyah, you disbelieving mother fuckers! Prototype Bionic eye should be ready for the first human implant by 2013. Looking at some of the more advanced articles out there really makes me wonder why the hell the design doesn’t have a microSD slot for capturing video.

Perhaps the most exciting part of all this is that it’s an Australian team and and Australian invention. Considering people forgot that we invented photo-voltaic solar panels and the disposable wine-skin (aka goonbag), it might get some money flowing back into Aussie R&D.

I think what shits me the most is that there are people that get paid to progrnosticate, and they’re usually wrong… Considering how often I’m right about this stuff, it makes me wonder how I can get a sweet job like that.
