It still strikes me as incredibly dangerous technology. I'm ok with it being used to help people who are disabled but I desperately don't want it to be available to the general public. It's only a matter of time until the brain starts receiving inputs in addition to sending outputs.
I think you'd have to be pretty insane in the first place to voluntarily get a brain implant just for the hell of it, so I doubt some cyber ghosts whispering into their brain would be anything they're not already used to.
I doubt it will be forced on anyone. Rather they'll simply do what they always do and make it harder and harder to live without one, much like how phones are now.
They'll manufacturer a virus and force the cure through the implant. As others said, the spineless herds will adopt it out of fear for their safety. One generation after that, the chips will be mandatory at birth.
