Contact Lens or TV Monitor?

Maybe both and it's not so far fetched. Advances in technology is making everything smaller and more portable. In about 10 years, you'll be able to pop a contact lens and watch TV. Your own body heat would power the TV/lens and you can change channels by waving your hand.

People would not be able to tell what you're watching. Like any other contact lens, you'd be able to pop it out at night. Experts say the technology already exists.
In some states you need a hands free device to use your cell phone while driving. How do you think contact lens TV will affect drivers?

  3. Ohhh, the thought of sitting in boring staff meetings, get togethers with the in-laws while REALLY watching Dr Phil or cooking shows quite appeals to me!

  4. That's a good point, but can you watch TV and feign interest at the same time?
