super eyes, super robots, super scientists, super bad!

If you've know someone who wasn't born blind, and doesn't have glaucoma, then they might soon be able to see again with this eye. Right now this is to help people who are blind, but when the technology gets better, goddamnit i'll rip my own eyes out for this....
Scientists are working on swarm robots that could, among other things find people in wreckage, or become a robot's immune system (???). wow.
You all know my co-pilot, and it seems he ain't the only one who wants to play god. Scientists at the University of Groningen just opened a synthetic biology department. I'd want to make a half monkey, half lizard....
Carbon Nanotubes are going to be used to make even more computer parts, and it makes me wonder if these will be THE material of the next twenty years.... There are billions of nanocompounds out their yet to be found, but that should get way easier now that they can design and test them in cyberspace....
And finally. not only are we in a wet universe, but the amino acids that made life were seeded by meteors that were formed at the creation of the solar system. IF.... this is something that happens everywhere, and not just here, then you are talking about a universe that is far more wet and organic than anyone could have dreamed or hoped for....
people.... science rocks. crack doesn't.

dude is there anything special that comes with those eyes. Like do they have the ability to see through things, or zoom vision, telesope lenses, come on what's the greatest part of it all?
