I'm just wondering, do advertisements worth that much?
Surely brain computers will be a pretty big investment for people; would embedding advertisements be worth it for companies? I'd imagine most people are willing to pay another few thousand dollars on top of the very high cost to avoid any sort of obnoxious features, for both personal and potentially socially-influenced reasons.
It's hard for me to see how anything could be worth more to companies than straight profit.
- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoBeing able to beam ads to the wealthiest folks (who can afford brain implants) sounds like a very high value to companies
- purplecats 5y agoI wouldn't be surprised if its the poor that use it the most. I imagine it will be used like a potent drug (like crack) targeted at the lowest common denominator. you think fb will make people pay for it to receive like notifications in your brain?
- rapind 5y agoWell I was intentionally misrepresenting how it would likely work for effect. It's really just more monitoring / data gathering so they can draw a more accurate profile of you in order to advertise to you and your relations. But what I was saying is that even if you could pay for a brain computer, many less fortunate wouldn't be able to, which opens the road for advertising subsidized (surveillance) brain computers.
