These days a computer is pretty much another lobe of your brain. What happens when we actually have computers embedded inside of us? Are they going to restrict access to our own cognition?
After a word from our sponsor
There's an episode of Black Mirror about exactly that and it was hella depressing. I think it starred Chris O'Dowd and Mya Rudolph, who are both usually really funny actors, but it was the opposite of funny.
S7 E1 "Common People". I had to stop watching towards the end because I nearly threw up.
There's an earlier one: Episode 7 overall, "White Christmas": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)
