I doubt that invasive technology will become widespread, but I think they might eventually find a non-invasive way to stimulate brain so that you can consume the internet faster. My question is, how much faster should we consume all the influx of information, all the garbage of the internet, all the misleading and commercially biased news, and all the social media, all the advertising? At which point should we stop and say, "we already developed a short attention span and disconnected from our inner selves enough, we don't need another way of consuming information faster, we need to calm the heck down"?
I think that this trend probably needs to exhaust itself by getting more and more absurd before it dies. Then, maybe, eventually we will look at this technology and see how it can actually benefit us. Maybe we can stimulate the brain regions that are responsible for well-being - for equanimity and peacefulness, for increased neuroplasticity, etc. Obviously, making a technology like that is not the best thing commercially, because it may turn you away from consumerism, but maybe eventually that wouldn't be as big of a priority as in a modern day world.
