Once we can get brain-device-interfaces implanted into us in order to sort of link our brains with a computer/phone, we probably won't get that information as pictures appearing in front of our eyes.

The information would probably be delivered raw into our minds. We'd just know what time it is, what the weather will be, who's calling us and what the news are saying, without having to process the information.
Indeed not. You would get unskippable ads first.
Not unskippable, un-autoembedable.
Yes. Put the ads directly into my subconscious. Lovely idea!
The scary part is how many people just don't seem to care. Hey, did you know you can get cheap bullshit on Temu? The idea that you'll one day have to compete for your job with someone with an implant is scary, not for them because they signed up at betterhelp.com to have a professional talk them off a ledge once a week. Hopefully they won't be much of a threat because of all the single people in their area. Also, boner pills anyone?
Intrusive implants required for every job!
Futurama was at least nice enough to use some waves to beam ads into dreams. No brain interface required.
Honestly I don't think this is the way tech is going to go. Will it be possible? Almost surely. Will the average person get it? I seriously doubt it. I think it's going to be one of those technologies that people talk about, that the tech bros hype up, but when it comes to real world implementation, I think most people would skip it for something a little more detachable. Ar glasses/contacts maybe. But actually having a surgical procedure to implement something like this seems unlikely to me.
What are the possible benefits of an integrated system as opposed to a removable one? That, will be the deciding factor, I think.
What would separate the contact lens users from the brainchip users, and how dramatic will the differences in capability be?
IMO if we ever get to a point that pulling information from the Internet is as simple as "remembering" it the same way we remember any other information, that could have both significant advantages over having to first read the data visually to ingest it, and terrifying potential to implant "facts" into someones mind.
You know that Apple will release a new iBrain every year to squeeze every last dollar out of their customers.
It’s the likely eventuality, but it’ll be a long road to get there. The beta testing is going to be wild.
If it bugs out all you will think is the word spaghetti
So an average morning pre-coffee (for the routine, not the caffeine).
The ultimate translator. Being able to read and send data to a human brain directly bypassing external sensory organs.. The creation of a Neural/cyber interface will be a double edged sword. While it means that a lot of data can be input directly into the brain, it will also mean data (memories) (possibly) can be read and/or manipulated.. Nobel and Oppenheimer would have nothing on those who could pull this off.
I wonder if hyperphants will still receive information in whatever senses they have overactive imagination in.
I have aphantasia, so I’m curious what the experience would be like for that as well.
Like if the whole thing is designed to evoke mental imagery rather than actual sight, what happens to those who don’t have that ability?
