Reality seems to again be more like Aldous Huxley than George Orwell. We will pay to get these things in our heads eventually.

Settle down with this "we" shit. I couldn't wait for a cybernetic brain link when I was a kid. After seeing how corporations handled the Internet, I will never get one. IDC if I live to be a 1000 years old and every other person on the planet has one. No thank you.

Right?

Even after reading Snow Crash, I wanted an RJ-45 port so I could get internet straight to my brain...right up till I had my first IV stuck in me. Realized I didn't like foreign objects in me at all lol
