The information would probably be delivered raw into our minds. We’d just know what time it is, what the weather will be, who’s calling us and what the news are saying, without having to process the information.

      The scary part is how many people just don’t seem to care. Hey, did you know you can get cheap bullshit on Temu? The idea that you’ll one day have to compete for your job with someone with an implant is scary, not for them because they signed up at betterhelp.com to have a professional talk them off a ledge once a week. Hopefully they won’t be much of a threat because of all the single people in their area. Also, boner pills anyone?

    Honestly I don’t think this is the way tech is going to go. Will it be possible? Almost surely. Will the average person get it? I seriously doubt it. I think it’s going to be one of those technologies that people talk about, that the tech bros hype up, but when it comes to real world implementation, I think most people would skip it for something a little more detachable. Ar glasses/contacts maybe. But actually having a surgical procedure to implement something like this seems unlikely to me.

      You know that Apple will release a new iBrain every year to squeeze every last dollar out of their customers.

    It’s the likely eventuality, but it’ll be a long road to get there. The beta testing is going to be wild.

    The ultimate translator. Being able to read and send data to a human brain directly bypassing external sensory organs… The creation of a Neural/cyber interface will be a double edged sword. While it means that a lot of data can be input directly into the brain, it will also mean data (memories) (possibly) can be read and/or manipulated… Nobel and Oppenheimer would have nothing on those who could pull this off.
