More babies! Bigger babies!

My title isn't referring to babies as such, but the desire for things to be grander, better and cooler. (It's a making fiends referenve, BTW "vote vote vote!")

Now that I have resigned myself to wearing my glasses almost all the time I find myself wanting better glasses. My glasses help me see better and they look fine, but I want them to do MORE. Here follows a list of what cool things my glasses should be able to do:

  1. Enhance my vision telescopically, allowing me to read fine print from the far side of the restaurant, or see an ant at fifty paces.
  2. Text news feed that scrolls down one side of my vision. Stuff like: You have new email. A time read out would be useful too, as long as I could turn it off and on.
  3. Little windscreen wipers for when I am walking in the rain, it'd also be good if they could clean themselves like windscreens, although I wouldn't want water jets.
  4. Night vision.

Is that too much to ask? I mean, it *is* the twentyfirst century now. If I can't have a car that folds up into a suitcase then at least I should have glasses that can magnify 200 times when I ask them too.
