Happiness: Take Chip, Eat Bugs, Own Nothing
Augmented tech can change the way we live, but only with the right support and vision
Are we moving towards a ‘brave new world’? As scary as chip implants may sound, they form part of a natural evolution that wearables once underwent. Hearing aids or glasses no longer carry a stigma. They are accessories and are even considered a fashion item. Likewise, implants will evolve into a commodity. If that sounds unlikely, then consider the alternatives we currently use. Drugs often show unwanted effects because they affect multiple biological processes at the same time. Someone on long-term medication may want to try an implant that sends very precise electrical or optical pulses instead.
Brain implants take us one step further and allow us to tap straight into the body’s “operating system”…
When do we enter the grey zone? Ethics will advise us.
