Well that’s just what Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have done, so how was they able to control these animals, including worms?

The idea of controlling animals is not a new one, this has been done before but on bigger animals, and they also had an optical fiber, which was placed into its brain. Being able to do this by just using the red, blue and green from a projector is something that baffles the hell out of you or I. However, Chris Jablonski from ZDNET aims to explain it as easily as possible.

For those looking for an easier explanation then Georgia Tech has come up with a unique way of explaining how the LCD projector works on these animals. The three lights mentioned above are genetically engineered into the creature, when they turn the neurons on and off, which is how the muscles react.

We are not certain what the use of this will be, but if we were to guess then it could help people who have been paralyzed. The most common reason what causes paralysis is the signal not getting to and from the brain, we imagine that this could act as some sort of bypass.

OK, so we already know by the name of the brand that you will not get to enjoy all the details from a movie like Avatar, but those with a small budget already know that.

Design wise, the RCA 37-inch Class 37LA30RQ is very basic, so will in no way threaten the sexy looks of your shiny new Samsung TV. I do not mean to sound negative about this TV, it certainly serves it purpose well. If you have a low budget, or looking for a TV to put in your child’s room to keep them occupied – then this is it.

Some of the features include 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 720p, 1366 x 768 pixels, and 3HDMI inputs, which alone make the TV much better already. What’s surprising is its weight, 41 pounds, but then again it is not one of those new ultra-thin LED TVs.

There are a number of accessories that you can purchase with the RCA 37LA30RQ LCD HDTV, such as a Planet 3 Tilting Wall Mount or a Ready-Set-Mount Fixed Wall Mount. Something else that could go perfect with this TV is an extended warranty, more details can be found here.

When choosing a TV, do you go for price, looks, or technology?
