Would You Watch TV on Your Contact Lenses? Cue the creepy futuristic music: Some British consultants are claiming that the future of television is in contact lenses. According to BuzzSugar, the idea is that television technology would shrink till it was the size of a standard contact, which would then be powered by body heat. You could change channels with motion or voice commands, and the people around you wouldn't be able to tell what you were watching.
