Most articles of this nature are just a writer making things up as they go along so they can push out another column. It's links to speculative information and nothing more.
Remember the Sy Fi android called '7 of 9'?
seven of nine tertiary adjunct of Unimatrix zero-one wasn't a android*, she was a Borg who was freed from the collective on Star Trek Voyager. A somewhat poorly considered character that ended up being exploited entirely for fanservice crap. Not to mention her Ocular implant became the magic tech that would be woven into more plotlines that she could very well have been inspector gadget. It was like Geordi Laforge's Visor from Star Trek:TNG, which apparently could be turned into a bomb, a phaser, a detonator, a force field generator, or a time machine. If reality was anything like Star Trek I'd be able to turn my MP3 player into a phaser by fiddling with it at random and then bombarding it with some exotic radiation, At which point it would explode at the most inopportune time later.
Of course, in Star Trek's universe, Starships are built with consoles that explode, and entertainment machines that constantly put thousands of people in mortal danger.
But I digress rather heavily.
*Like OMG *bits of cheeto come flying out my mouth as I talk with my mouth full* how can somebody not know that? It's almost like you have something better to do with your time or something than watch poorly written science fiction television series.
