Tech Article 4/11/14: Forget wearable tech, embeddable implants are already here

Retina implants that restore the sight of blind patients are <a href='http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/19/health/fda-bionic-eye/'>already on the market</a>. Grinders hope that future implants will not just restore sight, but improve it.

Some pioneers have begun self-experimenting with basic devices. "Anyone doing this to themselves should stop", says professor of bioengineering.
