No, I am comparing communication in general and it just so happens that in the past all communication was oral and now we all work from home and converse through large online platforms.
If, in the future, people move their communication to brain implants (help us God - any God), then brain implant telepathy would be the method of communication most in need of protection, to preserve or reclaim the important and centuries-old default of private, unmonitored communication.
New forms of communication do not change or diminish the legitimate and important need for private communication.
- whynotmaybe 2y agoWe've been using written discussions for thousands of years [1] but people expect the same reality for oral and written. You and I are both heading towards the same goal, private discussions. But, I'm saying that it will never happen if there's an electronic device involved and you want it to happen with it. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81... , written c. 1750 BC.
