Inventions

Although the Ipad and Iphones are coming out with new updates and such every year the new inventions that attract my attention on the ones that can better lives like the eLEGS exoskeleton and the lectric eye for example. The iphone and ipad is more of a materialistic invention. The electric eye  was developed by MIT researchers trying to make a microchip that can help the blind restore and regain partial eyesight. The electric eye cannot 100% restore normal vision but it will help the person to navigate around and recognize faces. I think this is a great invention so that everyone can have a chance to experience the world around them even if it not in full focus. It is nice to see who you are talking to and see the environment and the surroundings in the world. I think this would brighten the lives of many and give them many benefits. According to Time Magazine the electric eye is a “chip, which is encased in titanium to prevent water damage, will be implanted onto a patient's eyeball. The patient will then wear a pair of eyeglasses equipped with a tiny camera that transmits images directly to the chip, which in turn sends them to the brain.” I think health, medicine, and bioengineering inventions are the top best inventions because they can change lives and help better the lives of many people around the world. Other inventions that I find interesting are transportation inventions such as new cars that help the earth and help save money. Technology will continue to grow each and every year and I cannot wait to see what will be around 20 years from now.

Similarly, I did pick the Ipad. However, once ready your article I realize that I should have read and did more research. Inventions today should not be able what they can do to make us happy, but rather what they can do to improve the lives that we have. And this is exactly what the eye did. Inventions in todays world should benefit every aspect of life, and work to continue to improve the things that are imperfect. You state
"Technology will continue to grow each and every year and I cannot wait to see what will be around 20 years from now." What do you believe is going to come? Do you thin you will have a say in what is being developed? or are we just going to be quite Americans and sit back and watch everything be done.

Casey, your technology is quite remarkable. As a nerd myself, I would have picked the iPad more than a webcam in a person’s eye, but that is only my opinion. The iPad started a revolutionary craze of a tablet PC that is smaller and more compact; inbetween a eeePC and a laptop. I remember back in the day of 2009 (seems like years ago) when Steve Jobs was atop the podium delivering his fascist speech about the iPad. It was so convincing that the world needed another trendy technological device, as if smartphones (such as the iPhone), apple laptops (such as the overpriced Apple MacBook), and desktops (that are unnecessarily expensive) are not enough, this new device in which one is able to touch will suddenly satisfy everyone’s binge on technological devices. It certainly started a new market with all of the over-hype and craze it created, and that is why I would cite it as the best invention of 2009. The eye invention is another invention that is very interesting. I had always thought of using a webcam as an eye, and scientists have now made this dream a reality through this revolutionary microprocessor. It is simply amazing how they are meshing humans with technology, and that, along with other devices, is what makes me look forward towards the future. Brilliant people in our society are certainly not on a shortage, and that is why I look forward to the future. We will certainly be amazed when we are in college, blogging in our college English class about the top inventions of 2011.

Ipad and Iphones-both proof of a more developed technology in today's world, we are so lucky to live this day, we have these new inventions.
