Google Might Start Injecting Cyborg Lenses Into Your Eyeballs

Now this is a piece of news that might just send a shiver down your spine. Google just patented a new technology that would let them inject a fluid/computerised lens (we still don't know yet) directly in your cornea. Weirdness bar just hit the roof didn't it?

Apparently, the company has been researching on smart contact lenses for years now. The not-so-successful Google Glass was a little glimpse into what the future could really hold for us. But Google's new patent could really get the man at one with the machine, taking things to another level.?

Google says it will be able to remove the transparent lens of our eye, inject this fancy-electronic-future fluid into our empty lens capsule and then put an electronic lens on top of this fluid. Yes, this is Minority Report, in real life. Only hoping it won't be as painful as it sounds.?

What will it do?

Take Mission Impossible and every other sci-fi thriller you have seen till date. This lens would be able to do all of it. Well, at least most of it. It would automatically adjust the lens to see an object that is a fair distance away from you or even an object that's too close for that matter. It will be powered by the movement of our eyeballs. It would even be able to connect itself to a wireless device. Insane is the word.?

There are other benefits too.

Google says these lenses could also help in curing presbyopia - a condition that comes with old age as the eyes stiffen and its ability to focus is lost. It would also help in correcting other problems related to eyes, like myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia. So becoming a cyborg might be a little douchy at first, but it does have its advantages.

It could fail like Google Glasse

Apart from the fact that they looked incredibly stupid, the reason the Google Glass never really picked up was because it made privacy a huge concern. Consequently, they got banned at ATMs, banks, strip clubs, casinos and other places where there is an exchange of confidential matter. Google does see this as a concern, especially when our eyes are constantly transmitting data, making it easier for the law or hackers to keep a constant watch on your activities. To counter this, the tech giants believe they could strip out the personal identifying information keeping your critical information absolutely secure. There is no product to back this up, for now, so we really don't know if it'll be able to walk that fine line.?

Even though it might sound extremely cool at the moment, and the thought of going all 'Cyborg' on your friends might sound pretty rad right now, do know that it is just a patent. Things, concepts, and technology get patented all the time nowadays, so we don't even know clearly if Google will go ahead with this. This is just a glimpse of what the future might hold. It's exciting, but take it with a pinch of salt.?
