The Final Update

There’s a new device and the developers announced it would be the final update of the century. The new device is a small chip that would be administered into the brain above the right eyeball. It has the power to interlock itself with the five senses for a grander human experience. Isn’t that amazing! Whatever you think, an image will be projected before your eyes. Don’t know a language? That’s alright. The chip will pick up on the foreign tongue and decipher it while you listen.

At first, it was exciting news for us sellers. I thought of it as a break though in modern communication. The barriers that keep us separated will finally be torn down.

What has thousands standing in long lines is the unique feature to this chip. Any user will be able to telepathically communicate with each other after the chips automatically sync.

I watched people standing outside laugh and giggle in anticipation until the doors opened. Once they were allowed inside, the cheerful tune would turn metal as the consumers bombard towards any avaible salesperson. It’s normal seeing people elbow and stomp over each other as they rushed to the kiosks to sign themselves in. They do it with any new cellular device and I was ready each upgrade. But as I watched each victim sigh their life away, I couldn’t help but wonder will this be new form of a lobotomy was supposed to help society grow and finally unite us as one. The scientist working beside the developers hypothesized so. I guess. Television has already turned their minds into mush. The chip will make it easier to control them.
