The Six Million Dollar Man was my childhood's all time favorite TV series. For those who are too young to have the pleasure to enjoy the TV series in the 70's, here are the background of the story; astronaut Steve Austin was severely injured during a rocket liftoff and his right arm, both legs and left eye are replaced by bionic implants with a price tag of 6 million dollars. Pretty cheap by today standard though. With the implants he can lift heavy load, run 100km per hour for a long period of time and a 20x Zooming and infrared capability eye.
Today you don't need to get involve in a rocket accident & burn a 6 million dollar's hole in your pocket to turn yourself into a bionic man or woman... well not literally but you can have bionic eye by deploying an IP network camera with 3GPP protocol at home. With this deployment you can distant monitor your house with 3G mobile devices anywhere around the globe.
