I don’t look forward to that at all. If there is a way to turn them off at will, then maybe, but I need to know the side effects. The dream activity of the user is very likely to be affected by these imposing implants. By the time such brain implants are common, I may be my dad’s age, early 80’s. I still try to imagine that I will be working part time, even then, if health allows. For the income, of course, but also, to experience life as it is for the majority of citizens. The same reason I finally broke down and bought a laptop, after using WEBTV for years and years. I was at the point, where almost no store personnel at Best Buy had even heard of WEBTV, except as something their dad’s used to use a long time ago.
It’s a quiet evening at home. You’re reading a good book, and just thought about getting up and getting a cup of coffee.
And, suddenly, the implant starts playing a Folger’s ad.
You haven’t updated your ImplantAdBlock since you sat down, so it plays through before you are allowed to update it, and get another 10 or so minutes of blessed, ad-free internal silence. . .
Pass. . .
