One company's new invention called the "Bionic Eye" is making it possible for people with certain types of blindness to see again. The future is here, people!

When I was a kid, I used to think they would figure out a way to make humans live forever before I die. While that may not be in the cards, technology seems to be edging closer and closer to that which was once considered science fiction. Amazing things are being done with organ and limb replacement through 3D printing, cochlear implants are changing the game for the hearing impaired and now a company has invented a bionic eye!

Maybe my childhood dream of living forever may come true after all. We'll probably look like Lord Krang -- brains living inside of and piloting giant robot bodies... but I could probably live with that.
