I suppose a future AV improvement will be to upgrade eyeballs; iSpheres anyone?
The current gen are about the size of a quarter and are bluetooth capable, so he can sync to his devices, watch movies, etc with these little guys tucked behind some hair.
It got me thinking, I wonder if audio guys have started to look at some of this sort of thing to really "hear" music perfectly. Very interesting tech.
If hearing is down to tiny hairs in your ear resonating with the audio frequency, I would have thought being hard of hearing was down to those hairs not being able to function properly. How does bone conductance audio get around that? Does it use a different sense?
My eyesight is also going, I have to rub my eyeball on the phone screen like one of those anti-deorderant balls, I daresay my hearing will be next.

(That's probably nonsensical latin, if anyone with a modicum of latin knowledge wants to go all Life of Brian on it, please feel free. What is latin for augmented human?)
And they'll remove the optic nerve connector in favour of Bluetooth that will allow them to be 0.1mm thinner, and be wireless!
Ps did you miss iBalls on purpose?
