Does the prospect of having your brain linked directly to the internet...?

scare you or sound promising to you? A lot of scientists are talking about this as a possible future. My belief is that going by the rather flagrant abuses of trust companies like Facebook and Google have been shown to engage in, I really wouldn’t feel safe giving them access to my brain.

Can't wait for the new Coke ads to be directly spammed into my brain.

That's peanuts.

Try mind-hacking, altering the data your personality is made up of.

Yeaaaahhhh...NO! I don't want The Tech Lords getting anywhere near any of my lobes!

I'd be worried about being exposed to hacks/viruses and I'm not sure I'd even trust a 'buffer computer' kinda like the cyberdecks of Shadowrun to keep that shit out.

I'm gonna have to link my brain directly to Steam.
It's the only way I'll get through my backlog.

I don't even want my car or home to be accessible to the internet!

Yeah. "I've come down with a virus" suddenly takes on a whole new meaning.

I wonder if it would be different if it was a computer that had no connection to the Internet. Everything on it was first checked to make sure no viruses were on it and it was basically a library of information but only what the computer could hold or with the ability to load things that were checked and checked and checked and were on other computers that themselves had no Internet connection and then transferred by disc. In other words, an older concept of a computer as an electronic library. I wonder if people would then be interested in doing it if the Internet aspect was completely removed.

Is this what you really meant to say?

So.

Porn.

While it's cool to think of all the possibilities of a mind unbound by the crappy limits of flesh, at the same time, I don't trust that our technology is fail-proof enough to not fuck it up.
