I read this on a blog I frequent:

"Reading this article just inspired me. Anything is possible. Another twenty years and we'll all want implants like this... Science is fucking mind-blowing, and is the new God."

He was referring to an article in Wired magazine. It gives a glimpse into the lives of Patient Alpha and William Dobelle. Alpha is the picture of health, except he lost his ability to see. Dobelle leads one of several teams that are vying for the lead in the field of artificial-vision systems. It's a fascinating glimpse into this field and two of the more interesting characters who play roles within it.

To read the article follow this link:

Enjoy,
Casey
