- Implants
-
- For at least fifty years, man has tried to find ways to fix or
- completely remove "defects" on and in the human body. This was of course
- a really good thing, because the people with these "disorders" did not
- want to have them. That, I believe, we can all understand.
-
- And so plastic surgery was invented to take care of people who had
- been burned, maimed, or in other ways harmed in such a way that they
- perhaps did not want to be seen by other people. Plastic surgeons worked
- in hospitals and helped people. Today plastic surgeons work everywhere,
- still helping people, but in most cases, people that does not really
- need help. "Oh I have a wrinkle there...", "My breasts are too small..."
- you know what I mean.
-
- Not far away from this are the computer chip implants. After many
- years, doctors were able to connect nerves together with a chip that
- would control them. Of course, this was made for people who had been
- injured in ways which disabled their nerve systems. I am not sure how
- successful this business has been since then, but I do know that today,
- computer chip implants are researched by medical doctors, the military/
- government, game developers and of course the computer industry.
-
- The latest development in the medical area has been to make blind
- people able to see again, and from what I understand, this has been
- really successful. In the military/government area, they are working
- on memory implants, to make it easier for their pilots/spies/employees
- to remember all facts more easily (that is, plug-and-play) - and yes,
- they have been somewhat successful with this already. Game developers
- like the idea that everyone will be able to plug in a chip, and
- instantly have a VR game in their head - no cables, head-sets, helmets,
- gloves or clothes necessary. And one can only imagine what the computer
- industry are up to. Think about it. A computer in the head? A computer
- in your arm? You'll be reachable wherever you are without any extra
- equipment to carry around. No phone, no pager, no laptop. Just a chip.
- Well, these are not the only possibilities there either.
-
- But then, of course, we also have the more shady area which must not
- be left out. These people are talking about trips. Not the kind you go
- on during holidays though. They are talking about getting high, going
- further, beyond any drug available, but without the risks involved
- today. No dirty needles and no need to be worried about the police or
- the law. The electronic "drugs" will not harm your body, or effect you
- in any way after you have used them. When you plug in the chip, you
- can decide what kind of trip you want, and for how long. The chip then
- feeds your brain and eyes with the program you selected, for as long
- as you decided. When the "trip" is over, you are back at the menu
- again. Remove the chip, and you are back in the real world. Drug-
- tests? No problem. I guess that new movie about people selling murder-
- experiences on such chips started this line of thought, and if this
- is realized, why not the murder scenario? And if that is realized,
- where will it all end? How do we know that a two-hour electronic
- "trip" will not be enough to cause an overdose? Will there be "bad"
- trips available as well, just like in the real world? Can you get
- a mixture that will kill you, electronically? Think about it. A black
- market will definitely be there, and with it, people selling chips
- in the streets, maybe in specialized coffee-shops in Amsterdam too?
- The whole "Would you buy a chip from this man?" scenario takes effect
- and there are no limits at all.
-
- If a chip can feed your brain, you will probably never have to go to
- school. You will never need alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana or heavy drugs
- again. Watch TV or a movie? Just plug in the TV / movie chip. The mobile
- phone companies will probably survive if they manufacture specialized
- phone chips. Those producing alcohol will survive if they manufacture
- specialized alcohol chips. But I doubt it. The computer industry will
- move in on each and every area possible, and the underground will take
- over the more grey areas.
-
- Let's face it. It is a fantastic development - the true vision of the
- future as we know it! But like with everything else, there will be a
- downside to it all. What that downside will be is hard to say today,
- but ten-fifteen years from now, it will not be. If you are wondering
- what I mean with a downside, let me tell you. I do not mean the kind
- we are facing today, though through the media, about the Internet -
- "oh no, child pornography in everyone's head" (by the way, Internet
- on a chip anyone?). That is not it at all. The downside here is a
- serious one. An effect to the social life, the human body and mind.
-
- What I mean is - have you ever heard that other animals alter their
- appearances, correct their faults and "defects", substitute parts of
- their bodies for mechanical ones that are considered to be better?
- No, of course not. Animals have never ever done anything like this.
- "That is because they are stupid life forms", you say? Let me just say:
- What do we know about dolphins today, for example? Right. Their brain
- capacity is really high, they are not stupid. "Uh, they haven't got
- the right tools?" Come on! Alterations to the human body will effect
- our evolution, and probably not in a good way. But like I said earlier,
- it is hard to tell in what way today.
-
- What _is_ certain though is that we are heading for the "only the
- people with the most money and power survive". Hmm, sorry about that
- statement - we are there already. Those who have money enough to alter
- their bodies will probably do so as well, and with that, we will see
- yet another class in society rise. "Haven't you upgraded your brain
- for two weeks? You're fired!". Let me show you some of the ads in the
- future...
