I woke up today never knowing i will have a thought about brain computer interfaces. It started casually while i was scrolling through Google, chasing a quick answer to something else, when a headline about BCIs grabbed me and my curiosity took control . I clicked, read a bit, then read some more, before I knew it, I’d gone down to videos, case studies, and opinion pieces. I decided to share what I learned and how I feel about it.

Fascinating take on BCIs! They hold incredible promise for restoring lost functions, but your caution on privacy, safety, and over-reliance is spot on. Trust and clear boundaries will be key as this tech evolves.
The word sounds confusing to me at first but your post makes it clearer.
Thanks for sharing

The comparison with pacemakers and cochlear implants makes a lot of sense, it shows how society can adapt when technology restores what’s lost. But I totally agree with your point about enhancement being a whole different conversation. Issues of privacy, ownership of brain data, and long-term transparency can’t be brushed aside. If BCIs really are going to be that close to our identity, then they have to be built on trust from day one.
