Background to this slightly weird question: I found one of my old an English exams on science fiction and dystopian literature from the 11th grade in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany (ca. 2004) and found a similar question. The idea back then was to discuss the pro- and cons of a BCI (and I objectively did not do to well back then) . I am interested about people’s opinions.

    Entirely depends on how it’d work. If it’s a good one and makes me able to access all of humanity’s combined knowledge… Sure, why not? If it’s a bad one and makes me hooked on some virtual world, or I have a goid chance of getting hacked and walk around like a zombie or ends me in a scifi dystopia… No. I don’t think I can decide without knowing more details.
