    Well duh! We’ve wanted cool cyborg implants our entire lives. Then we saw Facebook and Google releasing cool tech and we knew it was over. Can you imagine waking up and being blind because your ocular implants were deactivated because of a billing glitch? Oh that’s right, of course you would never own implants, they’d be a subscription model just like e everything else these days. But you don’t want ocular implants anyways, you want a memory upgrade, sponsored by Twitter! Some short time after the implant you gain weight and you’re not sure why. When you peruse your memory files you realize that 3 times per day the implant has been influencing your emotions to force you to buy McDonald’s super size meals. Sure, you pay a subscription fee, but that doesn’t mean you’re not going to receive ads. Oh, by the way, the implant can never be removed without killing you. You are now a corporate drone. Welcome to hell.

        Maybe not now, but kids of my generation all imagined having bionic arms, eyes, augmented memory, and that sort of stuff. Or at least my friends group did.

    Anyone dumb enough to let some corporation put a chip in their head isn’t going to have any brain activity to spy on
