if Musk is able to deliver on his promises, we could all become super-geniuses and gain superhuman capabilities like enhanced vision, hearing, ultra-fast learning, and more!
I wonder what the side effects will be. If safe, will it be out of reach for the general population? Will we have back yard/alley way versions of early abortion clinics for neural implants operations? Will it increase or decrease the age of the recipients? Will people get early onset dementia?
I think I will be one of those standing on the side lines until a few of those questions are answered. Of course if I got early onset dementia I would volunteer in a heart beat.
Yeah, we are entering totally uncharted terrains with this technology. Who knows how this will shape mankind. I think, as far as reachability, is concerned, it will be expensive at first (like how early smartphones were), but eventually, with each new version, it might get cheaper.
Yeah, I would personally wait for a few versions before trying it out myself (if at all, that is).
