I would definitely not use any technologies that use internet or can be hacked remotely. But I would accept some that would help my life significantly.

    I’ve seen code. I want nothing.

    We already have people getting implants and companies leave the space for go belly up and you’re stuck with a useless piece of plastic in you. No thank you.

      Or, possibly worse, companies changing terms after the fact. Who knows when they decide to start upcharging for a feature you got for free before. Or they “upgrade” something and start collecting data that you didn’t originally consent to. Giving up part of your body to a soulless corporate whore sounds like a nightmare. I would only approve of things I could remove myself should they become problematic.

      This is a nightmare scenario.

      It’s bad enough when you get something cloud connected and the company disappears, leaving you with expensive e-waste.

      Now it’s in your body and you likely have to pay to remove it (plus surgery risks) or leave it there knowing no one will help cover costs if there are complications from it.
