The Eyes Have It


Given the rapid influx of information coming to us 24/7 and on increasingly smaller screens, I predict that there will be a massive increase in the number of people wearing corrective eyewear (glasses and contacts.) So, the smart ones will invest in companies that make optics and contact lenses. After all, while Moore's law says we'll be able to pack an increasing amount of information on smaller chips every two years – our eyes simply haven't kept up.

"That rate, since the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958, doubles the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit, approximately every two years." Gordon Moore.
