company say it's safer than their main website, with more controls that your
parents can use. YouTube make money from adverts that pop up on the videos you
watch. But they're not the only people that are after your attention online -

version of their network. Rory Cellan said “This going to be a safe place where
children can use YouTube with lots of suitable content.” The app is currently

Bionic eye made to restore sight to the blind-
Scientists develop 'bionic eye' which could restore sight to
the blind. Scientists at a North East university are working to help
"restore sight" to people who have lost their eyesight. Experts at
Newcastle University are developing a microchip implant for the brain which
transmits a signal to a camera in a bionic eye. The technology is currently
being tested and the team behind the project estimate human trials could get
under way in the next 10 years. The eye works by sending communication cells to
the brain. Using the glass goggles scientists say that sight could be restored
to the blind.
