    Oh we’re getting there. There are already artificial eye crystalline lenses that allow better than natural peripheral vision. Source: my former teacher who got one.

    What we aren’t likely to be getting, however, are those hip, mirrorshade wearing anarchistic hackers and whatnot, who rob Megacorps on the regular.

      Shouldn’t those be very expensive? Do Teachers in Usonia get paid that well?

      Maybe, maybe not. They could be one of The Anonymous for all I know.

        I’m in Russia lol. And yes, those are quite expensive and teachers aren’t paid that much. I think his children paid for it.

        They could be one of The Anonymous for all I know.

        Judging by their actions and announcements, Anonymous has been either taken over or have always been feds. Hackers in general seem to be largely employed by big actors - governments and megacorps

        No, teachers in the USA make very little! It’s pretty sad, like they make enough for a career I suppose and there are unions for teachers and stuff but the pay is still horrendous compared to what private sector earns. My uncle teaches middle school (god bless that man, Jesus fuckin christ i would go insane having to deal w those kids) and my aunt works as well. He has worked at his school for over a decade now so he’s doing decent, but yea they don’t make much. There was a 3rd grade teacher of mine who actually saved up money (on a teacher’s salary mind you) to buy a top of the line projector that the school refused to pay for. Much love and respect to the teachers of the USA
