Do you always want the power over your own mind???

After listening to the several podcast this week I was forced to realize how technology will always advance and unfortunately it will just continue to consume us if we allowed ourselves to be control by technology. One of the podcast described a world in which computer could implanted in the brain. This was appalling to know that one day people could willingly forfeit the mind but not just for a drug but to an addiction...the addiction of technology. If there is always a computer constantly with you and at any given moment you can access, there is now no way for someone to be able to think for themselves. I believe that implanting computers into ones brain will drastically interrupt their mental stability. If someone has a computer in their head and for instance they're going through a difficult situation the computer automatically tell you how you should feel and how you should cope with any particular situations. Instead of someone being able to use their own mind to cope with misfortunes the best way for them. Understandably a computer in you brain does come in handy when you need it but at what cost? Not having my right mind or having something determine how I should feel is not a price I am going to be willing to make.
