Launched in 2016 by Elon Musk, Neuralink was designed in order to create a new brain-computer interface. Essentially, this technology is implemented into the human brain in order to assist the body in carrying out specific bodily functions. Being an accounting major, I could personally see many uses for this technology in my field. Being able to solve problems just by looking at them sounds awesome! However, I do think there are many cons that outweigh the pros. I, for one, do not feel so comfortable with a computer controlling my thoughts, actions, and emotions. It seems very receptive to hackers or flaws within the system, possibly leading to absolute chaos and destruction of the body and or others around them. On the other hand, it also seems very meticulous to control and maintain. I would want to personally control my chip and program it the way I would want it to work. Outside influence could possibly lead to unreasonable or unwanted assistance, possibly changing the personal outlook for someone forever.
