none of that is a NEW thing.
it all happens with drugs right now.
(more or less)
the question is what can it do that is unique? that doesn't already happen?
Note: you are ASSUMING it's instantly addictive.

true, im going off the lerry nevin books as i have nothing else to go off of with this. also in his books it does not make all other drugs obsolete, in fact there are more drugs then ever. the whole birthday party at the begining of the first ringworld book has a whole thing talking about the druggs, people not sleeping for days, ones with sides effects and ones without, and after you went to the sleepingplates and slept it off.
the deep brain stimulation is the same thing they used last year to implant and record memorys right? think it was on a rat or a mouse or something. otherwise i have no clue about the actual implimations in it only the fictional books. so when i was talking about instant addiction i was talking about the "tasp" in the fictional books it came from i wasent talking about the deep tissue stimulation stuff.
Still i say all tech can be used for good and bad and im sure it will create new problems we could never think of.
this wasent in the comment when i first replied.
IDk as its all spectualtion and that is a question you would need an answer from someone with actual knoldge of the workings of it and stuff. im just a dude that did alot of lerry nevin reading as a kid.
