People will never want chips installed in their brain. There's just too many scifi movies showing why that's a bad idea and the tech industry keeps completely ignoring the message and try to make it into a reality.
I'd hope that's the case, but I mean, look at artificial intelligence. People are widely adapting that even though theres proof that its going to replace tons of jobs in the near future.
But hey, "ooh shiny technology"
Replacing jobs would be considered an immense public good in any sensible economy. Unfortunately, capitalism makes it so you die if nobody needs you to work. Nobody needing you to work is logically a GOOD thing! Why are people being punished for it??
My point exactly.
I hope you are right. I agree, I don't think I'd ever want one, but one can never know what technology will be available in a couple decades- I'm afraid at some point people will eventually find it enticing and before that, there's always idiots who would just because.
