cameras starting a decade earler...
That's really inspiring, man
How about organic interfaces e.g. processor drivers to nerve
tissues ; neuro-chip replacement for spinal nerve connection
etc etc ,... that's going to be a reality as well ...
so that people like Christopher Reeves could possibly be walking
again by 2027 or earlier , right ?
