forget the'wireless' tasp for now...it's got a LOT of technical hurdles to overcome first.
all tech could be used for good or bad.
just randomly coming up with ideas on the spot..............
maybe a doctor perscribed low dosage implant insted of taking xanax. (one hit your hooked for life)
wireheads from next door breaking in and stealing power because they forgot to pay their electricty bill in an eletric haze. (you do not want to mess with a wirehead when they are under the tasp, second ring world book luis wu killed like 3 or 4 people at once and was smiling the whole time and then forgot about it till he turned off the tasp and looked around.)
just the loss of people we shouldnt lose that just had a bad week and insted of going on a drug bender and get over it a month later might take that wire install and once they do there is no sobering up and coming back from rock bottom.
blackmarket instalation, i mean its bound to happen anyway as new implantable tech comes out and the goverment tries to regulate it but someone with an unknown amount of training sticking stuff in peoples brain cant be a good thing.
the whole war that will come with people pushing for a probition of it, and as much as i dont like the idea of wire heads i hate the idea of someone trying to take away others choice on it. with probition comes blackmarkets and crime , the bigger the crime the more money it will cost and the more money the criminal market holds the more violence that happens. even if it is violence from the party that made it a crime trying to stop people doing what people do or if its the criminals doing it.
oh the whole broken window thing, got an area where the wire heads roam and nothing will get fixed or paid for, it would just get worse and worse till the area was rubble or they were moved out by force so the area could be cleaned up and fixed.
pluss im sure new problems would come up that we couldnt thing of in our dreams. lol
sorry that was so little in so much, it was fun trying to think of problems that could arise and i had to stop myself or i would have kept going.
:D
yeah even in the books the wireless one was like something that was suposta be a myth and stuff because to advanced and stuff. it did exist and nexus had a wireless tasp implanted in his head, not to get him high but to use like a gun. he would tasp you and you would just go limp for a bit in bliss then depression and addiction would kick in and you would be his slave. lol
hell what if they started implanting into babies so when they grew up they would be obideiant robots insted of free willed people. dontdo what master says and you get no eletricity at the end of the day.
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.
:D
same here
