Without a doubt, I think that there will be human augmentations as technology evolves. If there is ever a chance for companies to create things like that, they totally would. There is already the Neuralink company, creating brain chips, and I think that would probably evolve into the sort of chips that we see in cyberpunk stories.
Initially, I think that brain chips are really cool in concept! In fictional settings, the idea of having a computer in your head to help with tasks, and being able to be conscious in a dream-like state sounds awesome, but the issue is that companies exist. Often seen in cyberpunk media, corporations will over advertise things for the common person. Everything is seen as something they can make money off of, and that is without a doubt happening in the real world. Especially with things like dropshipping, everyone wants to make a quick buck, so having a brain chip just would be seen as a new place to advertise.
Because of that, I don’t think that I would get something like that if it was available. Even if it helps with small tasks or helps with memory, the thought of being constantly advertised to sounds awful. It makes me think about all of the drama about the election on Facebook a bit ago, where people were posting fake things in order to manipulate people’s thoughts. Putting a chip in someone’s brain would make that even easier, as it could make false thoughts with its ads
I think that technology that helps humans rather than being installed would be cool, like something to control computers without touching them, or even an augmented reality style visor would be pretty cool. It would be kind of scary seeing people with things on their faces in public, like with that Apple is trying to do with its Vision Pro, but something that could still show everyone’s face and expression, while also being a computer that can be accessed for smaller tasks, would be something I would love.
