Haraway would view the technology of bionic contact lenses as a normal advancement in human society, due to Haraway’s notion that all human beings are cyborgs who interface with their environment through artifacts or technology. Thus the advancements in bionic technology are simply progressing the fact that human beings are advancing as cyborgs. The biotic contact lenses are simply an extension of this historical concept. The visual augmented reality functions proposed by the bionic contact lenses are viewed as reality, as both the projected augmented reality visuals and actual social reality visuals are representations of reality. To Haraway this and any further advancement are part of the normal adaptive evolution of machine and human hybrids interfacing with the environment.
