Imagine a world where if you want to interface with the computers you need in your daily professional tasks you need to link to be the most efficient and be able to stay professionally competitive in your field. But these implants are expensive. So you opt in for a cheaper version of the implant link that allows advertisements. You dream adverts sometimes. Sometimes when you are hungry you suddenly imagine a juicy burger and are hungry for _____ chain. You get them for your kids so their neuroplasticity adapts quick to this new tool. When they imagine while playing with dolls, they are driven to want new products based on how they play. By the time they grow old, data collection from your thoughts for advertisements directly to the brain are normalized and most people are fine with it.
