I don't know about having the internet installed in our eyes... I have seen through studies in class that technology has advanced to help the handicap population. They are currently working on a system which allows quadriplegic's communicate via online by using their brainwaves to type and open/close programs. Great advancements in technology!

I would NEVER opt for that! :) Too much intrusion into our lives already.

I haven't heard about in our eyes. I have heard about a set of glasses that allow you to see the internet as well as real life at the same time. Might be confusing.

Nothing can surprise me about the advance of technology, but your description sort of freaks me out and I don't think I would like to have it.

First off, read this: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.09/vision_pr.html Okay, now that you've read that, you know that we can already kinda-sorta get the eye thing going even today. If you were too lazy to follow that link then just take my word for it. Now, we can already put a CPU and RAM and all sorts of other peripherals on the same die and make a "computer on a chip" about the size of my thumbnail. The black square you see is actually a chip package, and most of the space therein is taken up by pins and connections to interface with a motherboard; the actual chip is *quite* small and easilly implantable. Given that my netbook's CPU and chipset consume less than 11 watts, I think that the power supply issue will soon be resolved as well. I mean, we have NiMH AA-cells that hold more than twice the amp-hours of NiCad sub-C cells from a decade ago. However, I think we would need to work on our anti-malware technology at that point. It sucks bad enough to infect my PC; I *really* don't want viruses running in my frontal cortex. Not only do I believe that it is certain, but I also believe that we could do so today if we *really* wanted to. Ever read any cyberpunk? Black Ice will (literally) kill. I would rather lose my PCs hard drive than forget the tenth grade... or how to breathe.
