I still feel that Google is one of the most remarkable companies ever. Our lives have changed drastically because of the algorithm the company created. There is nothing you can’t look up in five seconds. In fact, there are certain folks who enjoy being fast-draw researchers. If someone in a crowd brings up a topic or a name that needs clarification, they have to be the first to retrieve the Google explanation. Okay by me.

Google is busy working on many other innovations that are going to be game changers. The self-driving Google automobile and Google Glasses are two inventions that we know about. Just yesterday I learned of one that will help save lives.

Google is testing a prototype constant lens that will help people manage their diabetes. Google said that the contact lens would measure glucose in tears continuously using a wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor. That would be a major breakthrough compared to current random tests.

The company explained how it would work: a chip and sensor would be embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material. A pinhole in the lens would allow fluid from the surface of the eye to seep into the sensor.

The company admitted that the development of this product is still in its very early stages, but they have every reason to believe that it will come to full fruition in a few years.

They never cease to amaze.
