Sonochromatic Color

               These days you hear a lot about amputees receiving prosthesis, but usually they're for limps. Recently Neil Harbisson, who is color blind, found a way to "hear color."

            Neil Harbisson wears a kind of "eyeborg" that is fitted to his head in a band fashion, and allows him to see color. The "eyeborg" translates the color waves into sound waves so that Harbisson is able to hear them. Haribisson practiced distinguishing the sounds, he can now tell what color you're wearing. He can listen to speeches and he associates the sound of the voice to color. Harbisson comes up with paintings, for speeches, using the sound waves he hears.

            This TED Talk made me start thinking about how far the human race has come. We keep inventing things to make life easier, but we also get farther from our naturalness.  I think that some advancements are needed, but I think there is also a point where we need to stop or slow down.
