It's hard to resist to a tech when everyone around you is uing it. It's not impossible, but it is hard. My mum was super anti Facebook when it first came out.

My mum was super anti Facebook when it first came out. Now she has one.
I'm not saying you will have an iBrain, but myself for instance, hope that I will not have one. Maybe though, I won't really have a choice in a world where nearly everyone has an iBrain. Kinda like that show where everyone has smart contact lenses and only some people go against the movement and remove them.
- gambiting 10y agoI wonder if these conversations are how we ended up in 21st century with old people adamantly refusing to use computers - at some point in their 20s they decided they don't want to have anything to do with this dangerous technology, and now they are 60 year old and unable to receive email. Will it be us in 40-50 years time, with kids running neural laces with ease, and we will be refusing to use them because we were worried about certain aspects of it?
- arca_vorago 10y agoI think there is a clear distinction between what we are talking about and your example. I'm not talking about refusing to learn a new tech, such as "computers", rather insisting to only use tech that respects my freedom. For example, Linux is my daily operating system largely for this reason. Stallman knew these issues were and are important, he was simply a man so far ahead of his time most people fail to understand the level of importance of his arguments.
