Science night on PBS
It just doesn't get any better than this :)

Innovation is on now,and it's about a implant device to help blind people see.

Between this and Nova I'm in geek heaven!

1. The monkey experiment at the end
was really impressive. The direct control of an artificial arm using only a thought is a big step in the evolution of science. Not to mention the brain interface works both ways, in and out! It's something I've thought about for years, and now it's finally reality.

2. I know,that was cool
I understand why these things kind of scare some people,but for me it's incredibly exciting.

I honestly believe the next step of human evolution will be unnatural instead of natural.Brain interfaces,robotics etc are where we're heading....like it or not.I like it myself :)

3. When I watched the monkey experiment
I kept thinking...how do we get the *chimp to this functional level level now?
