On this show (Brave New World) I saw a scientist who is making an
artificial retina. Does anyone have a link to that research?
I know that many extropians have discussed implanted electrodes for
such activities as muscle stimulation, in increase coordination.
I have a very simple task which a muscle actuator might improve:
Spinning a superball around inside a lucite (acrylic) globe.
Again, for those interested in a very simple yet rewarding project:
HOME DEPOT - Lighting Department
PART # P012WA (12" White)
5 1/4" Neckless
Price: $17.90
And TARGET (Toy Department)
Wham-O Superball
Price: $1.79
For those who live outside of cookie-cutter centrally-owned soulless
warehouse store franchise city USA, a hard plastic ball will work.
Also try Chinese bells, or health balls, for a buzzing engine effect.
Imagine what you could do with hand-cranked power generation?
Soybeans in, electricity out. Now that's a workforce!
