Someone explicitly brings up Blade Runner re real bionic eyes Options

[Wounded Ronin]

Well, it made the mainstream news. There's some woman who wants a bionic eye but explicitly cites Blade Runner as an influence.

The Bionic Woman and maybe Bladerunner! Ever since I lost my eye I would fantasize about having a bionic eye. So I did research and I realized that as technology becomes increasingly smaller it seemed doable to engineer a miniature video camera small enough to put inside my acrylic prosthetic. And then finally I would have a device as close to an eye as I could get. Also, I love photography and video, this would be a true P.O.V (point of view) perspective.

You know, I never figured out why people who lose limbs are always bee-lining straight for the delicate neurological interaction stuff. It would be horrible to lose a limb, but if I did lose, say, and arm, why not just go for a prothetic with a lot of cool and convienient features that your meat arm wouldn't have?

Let's say that I lose my left arm. I could get a replacement arm that isn't necessarily intricate in terms of engineering or anything, but it could have a lot of useful devices in it. I'd want to get a small computer with LCD display and a wireless internet connection. I could use my right arm and a stylus to hit the keys and surf DSF all day on my arm. Since the computer would probably be built custom for the arm, maybe there could be a key I could hit that would automatically put "LOL LOL STFU NOOB LOOL LOL" in a text field. A GPS on the computer would be nice as well.

I don't smoke, but if I did, I'd have a little built in lighter with a refillable fuel compartment. Along the same lines someone who hates insects or spends a lot of time in the outdoors could have a little bug zapper installed in their replacement arm.

Besides for all that, why not put a taser mechanism into the arm, or a OC spray mechanism, or maybe have some kind of derringer built in there? Everyone wants to pick on the handicapped dude until it turns out he has an arm cannon.
