Elon, please keep the Internet out of our brains

A lucky individual has become the first human to receive a brain implant from Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink Corp., marking a step toward being able to steer computers with our minds. Sounds great, so long as the device doesn’t plug people’s brains into the time-sucking matrix of distraction that we call the internet. Far from enhancing our lives, that could prove a step too far in being “connected.” Neuralink seems to be far ahead of its peers in terms of technological prowess.
