The World in Your Eyes

Internet Contacts 1: Can you have contacts with Wi-Fi?

        Have you ever saw your friend in a classroom that was completely were zoned out, and then the teacher (seeing how helpless he was) calls him to tell you the answer to a problem, and he just stares and think "Boy, I wish I had my phone with that calculator I never used". And have you ever thought that it would have been really helpful if there was a way for him to find information without having to sneak his phone to school? Well now, recent developments in engineering have shown that it is possible to have the internet EVERYWERE. Scientists and engineers have worked together to make a primitive way of using contact lenses to carry the internet wherever you go. In other words, that friend of yours would be really happy.

    So how does this marvelous system work? Well, there is a circular antenna around the perimeter of the lens, which has a circuit that is holding up a LED at the center of the lens. The antenna is used to communicate with the computer that the scientists control so that they can monitor and change the color of the lens and what it does. The people that made this lens have already tested it on animals safely, namely rabbits. They are now planning to make a multi-pixel display so that you can organize your inbox, use the google calculator, and one of the most important uses, see Facebook profiles of strangers (you want to know who your saying hi to!). You can even wear eyeglasses with the LED display if you don't like contacts (like me). However, there could be a couple problems.

     When you were a little kid (like me), have you ever wanted to travel to the stars? I bet you did. Well, right now, you can't go to the stars.
 Not for long.
Really, the only reasons why were not at Alpha Centauri (nearest star besides the sun) right now is because:

•  The cost to even go to the moon was more than a billion dollars.
• It is really really really really far.
• We don't have the technology to get there within the span of a human lifetime.

    That's it. Only three problems to get to anywhere in the universe. Of course, they are much bigger than they appear. But still, only three problems. Scientists have been trying to find ways to propel spacecraft through space, and they have devised many ways to solve this problem. I am here now to talk about one of these solutions. It is a very smart solution, and the name of it is called the antimatter drive.
