Press Conference with the 2075 Prime Minister of Canada

2024-12-02T20:58:22Z

NathanG72:

Date: October 15, 2075

Location: Ottawa, Canada

'''Opening Statement by the Prime Minister:
'''

"Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for being here today. It’s an honour to address you about something that has completely transformed our country and the world: Neuralink chips. These tiny devices have changed how we live, work, and interact, and Canada has been right at the centre of this incredible innovation.

Neuralink technology has opened up new possibilities for health, education, and economic growth. But it’s also brought challenges that we need to work through together. Today, I want to talk about the benefits we’ve seen, the obstacles we will overcome, and how we are making sure this technology benefits all Canadians."

'''Economic Growth and Innovation
'''

"First, let’s talk about the economy. Neuralink has turned Canada into a global leader in technology. We’ve got the resources like lithium, cobalt, and gold to produce these chips, and we’ve used them to build a booming industry. Manufacturing, design, and maintenance of Neuralink chips have created hundreds of thousands of jobs. From the mines to tech labs, Canadians are benefitting from this success.

This has also brought more money into the country. Canada is now the largest exporter of Neuralink chips and related tech. The revenue has been a game changer, allowing us to invest in healthcare, education, and clean energy. Taxes are lower, groceries are more affordable, and we’re seeing the benefits of renewable energy replacing fossil fuels.

Of course, this success hasn’t come without challenges. The demand for resources has led to over mining, which has raised concerns about our environment. That’s why we’re pushing for sustainable mining practices and investing in technologies to recycle metals from old devices. We’re making sure this progress doesn’t come at the expense of future generations."

'''Transforming Healthcare
'''

"Now, let’s look at healthcare. Neuralink has completely changed how we treat illnesses. These chips are helping people walk again, manage chronic pain, and even combat mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Hospitals now have special units for Neuralink patients, and the results have been life-changing.

For many Canadians, this technology has been a second chance at life. But we know it can’t just be available to the wealthiest among us. That’s why our government has introduced programs to make Neuralink more affordable, ensuring everyone who needs it has access. We’re committed to making sure no Canadian gets left behind."

'''Changing How We Learn
'''

"Education has also been transformed. Neuralink allows students to learn faster and in ways we never thought possible. Imagine downloading a whole textbook in seconds or having lessons tailored to how you learn best. It’s happening right now in classrooms across Canada.

We have also introduced schools specifically designed for Neuralink enhanced students, helping them reach their full potential. At the same time, we’re making sure that traditional education systems remain strong and accessible for everyone, whether they have a chip or not, as we strive for complete equity amongst this new era.

'''Addressing Social Inequality
'''

"But with all these advancements, we can’t ignore the challenges. Neuralink has created new opportunities, but it’s also created new divides. People with chips often have an edge in high paying jobs, while those without them feel left behind.

We’re taking action to bridge this disparity. We will fund programs to help non enhanced citizens gain skills and find good jobs. We are also working to make Neuralink technology more affordable, so it’s not just the wealthy who benefit. This is about fairness and ensuring everyone has a chance to succeed, regardless of their background."

'''Privacy and Ethics
'''

"Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Neuralink raises big questions about privacy and ethics. Who controls the data? How do we prevent abuse of this technology? These are questions we are taking very seriously.

We’ve created the Canadian Neuralink Ethics Council to oversee the industry, and make sure these technologies are used responsibly. We have also introduced laws to protect users' privacy and give them control over their own data. Canadians should feel confident that their personal information is safe."

'''Environmental Responsibility
'''

"One of the biggest challenges we face is the environmental impact of Neuralink production. Overmining has affected our land and contributed to climate change. That’s why we’re investing in renewable energy, recycling programs, and research into alternative materials.

We’re determined to make this industry sustainable. We owe it to future generations to ensure our progress does not harm the planet."

'''Looking Ahead
'''

"As we look to the future however, it’s clear Neuralink will continue to shape our society. Our goal is to make sure this technology works and is accessible for everyone in the near future. We are focused on creating a fair, inclusive, and sustainable future where every Canadian has the chance to benefit from these advancements and achievements.

Canada has always been a leader in innovation, but we also have been a country that values equity and opportunity. Neuralink is indeed a powerful tool, but it is up to us to make sure it’s used responsibly. Together, we can build a future that works for all Canadians."

'''Closing Statement
'''

"Thank you for your time today. Neuralink has given us an incredible opportunity to improve lives and strengthen our country. But with that opportunity comes a responsibility to make sure this advancement does not negatively ruin our society. We ensure the public that we will keep working hard to ensure this technology benefits everyone, not just a select few. I’m excited for what the future holds, and I know we can achieve it together."

'''Q&A Session
'''

Reporter 1: “Prime Minister, what is the government doing to make sure Neuralink chips don’t create bigger divides between the rich and poor?”

PM: “Great question. We’ve introduced subsidies and grants to make the technology more affordable for people who need it. At the same time, we’re investing in education and training to help those without Neuralink compete in the job market. It’s about creating fairness and opportunity for everyone.”

Reporter 2: “What’s being done about the environmental impact of Neuralink production?”

PM: “We’re taking this seriously. We’re enforcing stricter rules on mining, investing in recycling technologies, and looking for alternative materials that are less harmful to the environment. Sustainability is a top priority for us.”

Reporter 3: “How can Canadians be sure their data is safe with Neuralink?”

PM: “We’ve put strict privacy laws in place that give users control over their data and require companies to be transparent about how it’s used. Plus, the Neuralink Ethics Council is keeping a close eye on the industry to make sure it operates responsibly.”

Reporter 4: “Do you think Neuralink chips should ever be mandatory?”

PM: “No, absolutely not. Neuralink is a choice, and it should always stay that way. Our job is to make sure it’s a fair and accessible choice, but no one should be forced to adopt this technology.”

==Introduction==
[[File:Neuralink Chip.jpg|thumb]]
The Neuralink Brain Chip (2075) is a revolutionary advancement in neural technology, and remains one of the most influential innovations of the 21st century. Developed by the neurotechnology company Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk in 2016, the chip was designed to work directly with the human brain, enhancing one's cognitive abilities, offering exclusive medical treatments and human-computer integration which offers a large variety of advantages.
By 2075, the Neuralink Brain Chip has evolved into a highly sophisticated and ever-present device, deeply integrated into everyday life. Its medical uses can range from treating neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries. The Neuralink Brain Chip is even capable of augmenting human memory, creativity and sensory perception. The chip, now far more advanced than its early iterations, features wireless connectivity and a vast number of never before seen capabilities. It is capable of not only monitoring brain activity but also providing instant feedback to optimize cognitive functions.
In 2075, the chip is commonly used for communication, with many people using it to send thoughts and emotions directly to one another without the need for speech or spoken language. The Neuralink Brain Chip also allows for contactless payment simply by sending your payment as a thought. Virtual reality experiences and environments are also just a thought away.
While Neuralink has faced ethical concerns and regulatory challenges, its influence on society and technology in 2075 is undeniable. As a tool for both human enhancement and medical therapy, the Neuralink Brain Chip represents a key milestone in the fusion of biology and technology, while shaping the future of human potential.

==History==
[[File:Scientists Royalty Free.webp|thumb]]
The first brain-computer interface was installed in a human in 2004, known as the Utah Array. This allowed the paralyzed man to control a computer cursor with their neural impulses. Created by Richard Normann, this device was attached to the skill through an opening in the skin flap.

Neuralink was founded by Elon Musk, Max Hodak, Tim Hanson, Ben Rapoport, and Dongjin Seo in June 2016, with the goal of creating implantable devices that could be inserted into a human’s brain to enhance certain abilities, such as cognitive and neurological conditions.
===Timeline===
In 2017, Neuralink was mentioned for the first time in the public eye at the World Government Summit in Dubai. Musk’s goal was to create a symbiosis between humans and technology.

in 2019 Neuralink made its first debut, showing the implant live in a pig. This highlighted the company’s ability to physically install the chip into live beings and was a proof of concept for future applications.

In 2021, human trials for Neuralink began. Certain people were selected based on artificial criteria, as well as people from a large range of ethnicities.

In 2025, Neuralink mass trials began, with sign-ups possible for those with brain-related disorders such as adhd, bi-polar disorder, and depression. The government approved the installation of the devices into persons for medical purposes.

In 2035, Neuralink became publicly available for the general population. Device availability was scarce. Only 1000 devices were created annually, citing resource management as the main reason for a decrease in supply. Additionally, costs for implementation were around $500,000 USD, as implanting could only be done at the one Neuralink facility in California.
[[File:North America Pins.jpg|thumb]]
In 2050, prices for Neuralink decreased, citing a sudden mass availability of resources, specifically the gold, required to build the motherboard units of the devices. Prices fell to $100,000 USD, and implanting sites also expanded, as countries such as Canada, The United Kingdom, and China opened locations. This rapidly expanded the user base, with China alone adding around 500,000 users in the first year of international release.

In 2065, prices continued to drop, as cheaper alternatives were found to create the motherboard and other components of the device. Implanting sites opened internationally, with every continent receiving at least 3 implant centers. Device price lowered to $10,000 USD, and surgical complications from the implantation process had all but vanished, most stress from individuals about getting the device.

As of 2070, more than 15 percent of the average global population, approximately 150,000,000 people has installed the device. Creation of special centers for Neuralink only members have created communities where members only interact with one another. Neuralink had worked to remove barriers to entry in recent years, however the easy implementation and low price of the new models have installation percentages rising.

==Economical Impacts==
During the mass production of the Neuralink chips, a great use of natural resources have been used. Due to this, a shortage of natural resources being gold, platinum, cobalt and lithium have now been overmined. As a result of this overmining, the prices and stocks of these companies have therefore risen substantially, creating a drastic shift in the Canadian economy.

More technological jobs have opened up, whether it is production, designing or fixing/updating the chip models etc, this boom in jobs have also shifted the economy to better suit the country as a whole, bringing in more revenue to better suit the Canadian population and their needs. Taxes, grocery and fossil fuel prices are at an all time low due to an increased efficiency in agricultural production through AI and chip enhanced farming, and a reduced reliance on fossil fuels due to nuclear energy.

There are instances however, in which some areas of life have been significantly increased in price. These areas are precious metals/jewelry, mining equipment/industrial technologies related to the creation of the chip and the export of these chips and its materials to the rest of the world. For the most part, these resources and precious metals have now become a greater sign of wealth and power, and practically unattainable for the rest of the population. Those with decent amounts of these well desired metals/luxury items have either sold them to make tons of money effectively now having generational wealth, however those who are in the top 1%, saved their items for the social economic status, effectively becoming “top ranking citizens” gaining access to almost anything in the country they desire.

Canada is now the biggest exporter and trader with the rest of the world, not only making the Earth more economically and humanly efficient, they are also now the leading country in GDP and incoming revenue that has been reinvested into the country for safety, quality of life as well as education and healthcare sectors. This effectively made Canada the number 1 country to live in, as quality of life, life expectancy, and educational test scores are far beyond that of any country at this time, creating a neo country.

Due to the chips and their social economic status, there is now a disparity within society as the wealthy who have the chip have many more advantages than the working class citizens without the chip implanted.

The high cost of Neuralink chips has led to a growing black market for fake or used devices, which many working-class people turn to because they can’t afford the real thing. These unregulated chips often break down or cause serious health problems, putting more pressure on healthcare systems. At the same time, the gap between those who can afford the technology and those who can’t keeps getting bigger. People without access to legitimate chips are falling behind in school, work, and daily life, and this underground market shows just how much this new technology is dividing society.

Neuralink chips have drastically revolutionized how people live and work, but they have also created enormous cultural divides. A new breed of "super-professionals" has occupied top positions in industries such as technology and finance as a result of the chips' improved efficiency, ingenuity, and intelligence. The majority of these people come from wealthy families since they can afford the chips. As a result, working-class people without chips now have a considerably more difficult time advancing in life or competing for well-paying jobs.

At the same time, companies catering to the wealthy are flourishing, such as special clubs exclusive to Neuralink, schools built for chip-enhanced learning, and luxury tech support for the chips. People without chips now feel even more excluded as a result of this. Many people are beginning to wonder if this technology is truly fair or if it is only making things more difficult for people who are already having difficulty. Discussions concerning who has access to these developments and whether the advantages outweigh the costs to society are being sparked by them.

==Geographical Impacts==
====Natural Resources====
As of 2075, the mass production of Neuralink has had profound environmental impacts. Because of Neuralink’s implementation within human bodies, its production requires natural resources that are native to Canada such as gold, platinum, cobalt and lithium. Historically, these resources are mined in various locations across Canada. Mines across Ontario and Quebec have been rich in gold, cobalt and lithium, and Quebec particularly has many historic quartz mines and silicon refineries. Newer lithium mines in Alberta are keeping Canada as a supplier for Neuralink Corporation despite its slow-down on exporting other resources. Canada has long been admired for the beauty of its natural landscape, however, the construction and expansion of various mines and refineries across Canada has put many of its natural resources in jeopardy. Open-pit mining and the expansion of new transportation routes across the country has greatly changed its natural territories and landscape, often leading to a decrease in the natural vegetation and disturbing the natural species.
====Climate Crisis====
The use of fossil fuels over the years has had an aggravating effect on the global climate crisis, however, recent implementation of small modular reactors (SMRs), a long-anticipated form of nuclear energy, have brought a new hope that the industry might pivot to more sustainable practices.
====Water Preservation====
Many natural freshwater resources have been the target of legal battles and protests among environmentalists as concerns regarding the preservation of these natural resources have become increasingly pressing.

==Ethical Issues==
===Legal===
====Animal Welfare====
Neuralink had been tested on animals extensively prior to 2030, with multiple reports of animals implanted with the early versions of the device suffering brain bleeds and chemical poisoning from material waste. Elon Musk denied all wrongdoings and animal welfare was discontinued in 2030 when human implementations became mainstream.
====Privacy Issues====
Neuralink is given kernel level access to the various senses of the individual. Neuralink in the past had been accused of selling customer’s data during 2060 to international third parties. This raised concerns on how much data Neuralink collects from individuals and to what degree do users have a right to privacy when interfaced with Neuralink. Consent forms are signed upon installation of devices; however, users report more information than agreed upon are given to third-parties, citing advertisements as a large source of information leaks.
===Healthcare===
There has been a significant issue with early versions of the Neuralink that resulted in the battery leaking corrosive and toxic materials into subjects’ brains, causing neurological damage resulting in loss of motor functions and a decline in cognitive capabilities. The battery was changed in Version 5 to alert the user as to a possible leakage earlier, allowing them to receive medical treatment in a timely manner.

Replacing the Neuralink also requires specific surgeons not available in every metropolitan area. Canada currently has three surgeons who specialize in the replacement and inserting of Neuralink devices, one at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital, St. Michael’s Hospital, and Victoria General Hospital. Wait times for these visits have historically been as long as two years, and with strict regulations, doctors are struggling to become certified.
===Economic===
As of 2075, only Elon Musk’s Neuralink is readily available on the open market. No competitors have yet to create a version of their chip for retail consumers. This has led to a stagnation in the competitive market, allowing prices to surge while demand continues to climb. Industry standards are only compared to Neuralink’s regulations, while competing companies struggle to meet high industry standards set by Neuralink’s industry-wide standard.

==Disparities==
====Class Divides====
Because of Neuralink’s widespread impacts on human cognition and ability, drastic shifts in social climate have taken place in societies around the world. Perceptions of Canadian culture historically have been that of openness and tolerance but in recent years divides across the population have emerged according to chip status. Those with Neuralink have access to better, more efficient education and therefore job opportunities. Not only have already-existing class divides been exacerbated by the chip, but those opposed to getting it because of health and privacy concerns have suffered economic loss as well. Despite Neuralink’s attempts to make the technology as affordable as possible, the technology and insertion nonetheless is a costly endeavor, leaving many citizens below or close to the poverty line behind. Those refusing to accept the advancement have diminishing access to education, as their memory and cognitive capabilities are limited. Lower-skill jobs have been automated to the extent that employment rates have dropped drastically in lower income areas. Some anti-chip citizens have found monetary survival through a pivot into art as a renewed valuing of authentic, human-generated (as opposed to AI generated) art has permeated even upper-class, chipped factions of society.

==Positive Outcomes==
Neuralink chips have changed people’s lives in ways for the better. For those with brain injuries or neurological problems, the chips have been a game changer. They’ve helped people move again, think more clearly, and live on their own, giving them new opportunities they never had before. In schools and workplaces, the chips have opened up new ways to learn and share ideas. Students can get information instantly, and workers can solve problems and work together faster than ever before.

Canada’s role in making Neuralink chips has also been a huge benefit for the economy. The chip industry has created thousands of new jobs, from building the chips to designing and fixing them. All the money coming in has been used to make improvements in schools, hospitals, and clean energy projects. Due to this, quality of life in Canada has increased significantly. Canada now has the best healthcare, better education, and the environment compared to the rest of the world by far. People are living longer, healthier, and happier lives, and Canada is now seen as the best place to live.
While there are still some challenges, Neuralink chips have made life better in a lot of ways. They’ve given people tools to grow, succeed, and solve problems we’ve been dealing with for years. If this technology keeps improving and becomes more accessible to the public, in particular the working class, then the world will not become so divided, and filled with so many equity related issues.

The use of fossil fuels over the years has had an aggravating effect on the global climate crisis, however, recent implementation of small modular reactors (SMRs), a long-anticipated form of nuclear energy, have brought a new hope that the industry might pivot to more sustainable practices.
Canada has long been admired for the beauty of its natural landscape, however, the construction and expansion of various mines and refineries across Canada has put many of its natural resources in jeopardy. Open-pit mining and the expansion of new transportation routes across the country has greatly changed its natural territories and landscape, often leading to a decrease in the natural vegetation and disturbing the natural species.
Many natural freshwater resources have been the target of legal battles and protests among environmentalists as concerns regarding the preservation of these natural resources have become increasingly pressing.

==Ethical Issues==
===Legal===
====Animal Welfare====
Neuralink had been tested on animals extensively prior to 2030, with multiple reports of animals implanted with the early versions of the device suffering brain bleeds and chemical poisoning from material waste. Elon Musk denied all wrongdoings and animal welfare was discontinued in 2030 when human implementations became mainstream.
====Privacy Issues====
Neuralink is given kernel level access to the various senses of the individual. Neuralink in the past had been accused of selling customer’s data during 2060 to international third parties. This raised concerns on how much data Neuralink collects from individuals and to what degree do users have a right to privacy when interfaced with Neuralink. Consent forms are signed upon installation of devices; however, users report more information than agreed upon are given to third-parties, citing advertisements as a large source of information leaks.
===Healthcare===
There has been a significant issue with early versions of the Neuralink that resulted in the battery leaking corrosive and toxic materials into subjects’ brains, causing neurological damage resulting in loss of motor functions and a decline in cognitive capabilities. The battery was changed in Version 5 to alert the user as to a possible leakage earlier, allowing them to receive medical treatment in a timely manner.

Replacing the Neuralink also requires specific surgeons not available in every metropolitan area. Canada currently has three surgeons who specialize in the replacement and inserting of Neuralink devices, one at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital, St. Michael’s Hospital, and Victoria General Hospital. Wait times for these visits have historically been as long as two years, and with strict regulations, doctors are struggling to become certified.
===Economic===
As of 2075, only Elon Musk’s Neuralink is readily available on the open market. No competitors have yet to create a version of their chip for retail consumers. This has led to a stagnation in the competitive market, allowing prices to surge while demand continues to climb. Industry standards are only compared to Neuralink’s regulations, while competing companies struggle to meet high industry standards set by Neuralink’s industry-wide standard.

==Disparities==
Because of Neuralink’s widespread impacts on human cognition and ability, drastic shifts in social climate have taken place in societies around the world. Perceptions of Canadian culture historically have been that of openness and tolerance but in recent years divides across the population have emerged according to chip status. Those with Neuralink have access to better, more efficient education and therefore job opportunities. Not only have already-existing class divides been exacerbated by the chip, but those opposed to getting it because of health and privacy concerns have suffered economic loss as well. Despite Neuralink’s attempts to make the technology as affordable as possible, the technology and insertion nonetheless is a costly endeavor, leaving many citizens below or close to the poverty line behind. Those refusing to accept the advancement have diminishing access to education, as their memory and cognitive capabilities are limited. Lower-skill jobs have been automated to the extent that employment rates have dropped drastically in lower income areas. Some anti-chip citizens have found monetary survival through a pivot into art as a renewed valuing of authentic, human-generated (as opposed to AI generated) art has permeated even upper-class, chipped factions of society.

==Positive Outcomes==
Neuralink chips have changed people’s lives in ways for the better. For those with brain injuries or neurological problems, the chips have been a game changer. They’ve helped people move again, think more clearly, and live on their own, giving them new opportunities they never had before. In schools and workplaces, the chips have opened up new ways to learn and share ideas. Students can get information instantly, and workers can solve problems and work together faster than ever before.

Canada’s role in making Neuralink chips has also been a huge benefit for the economy. The chip industry has created thousands of new jobs, from building the chips to designing and fixing them. All the money coming in has been used to make improvements in schools, hospitals, and clean energy projects. Due to this, quality of life in Canada has increased significantly. Canada now has the best healthcare, better education, and the environment compared to the rest of the world by far. People are living longer, healthier, and happier lives, and Canada is now seen as the best place to live.
While there are still some challenges, Neuralink chips have made life better in a lot of ways. They’ve given people tools to grow, succeed, and solve problems we’ve been dealing with for years. If this technology keeps improving and becomes more accessible to the public, in particular the working class, then the world will not become so divided, and filled with so many equity related issues.

==Introduction==
Neuralink Brain Chip (2075)
The Neuralink Brain Chip is a revolutionary advancement in neural technology, and remains one of the most influential innovations of the 21st century. Developed by the neurotechnology company Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk in 2016, the chip was designed to work directly with the human brain, enhancing one's cognitive abilities, offering exclusive medical treatments and human-computer integration which offers a large variety of advantages.
By 2075, the Neuralink Brain Chip has evolved into a highly sophisticated and ever-present device, deeply integrated into everyday life. Its medical uses can range from treating neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries. The Neuralink Brain Chip is even capable of augmenting human memory, creativity and sensory perception. The chip, now far more advanced than its early iterations, features wireless connectivity and a vast number of never before seen capabilities. It is capable of not only monitoring brain activity but also providing instant feedback to optimize cognitive functions.
In 2075, the chip is commonly used for communication, with many people using it to send thoughts and emotions directly to one another without the need for speech or spoken language. The Neuralink Brain Chip also allows for contactless payment simply by sending your payment as a thought. Virtual reality experiences and environments are also just a thought away.
While Neuralink has faced ethical concerns and regulatory challenges, its influence on society and technology in 2075 is undeniable. As a tool for both human enhancement and medical therapy, the Neuralink Brain Chip represents a key milestone in the fusion of biology and technology, while shaping the future of human potential.

==History==
[[File:Scientists Royalty Free.webp|thumb]]
The first brain-computer interface was installed in a human in 2004, known as the Utah Array. This allowed the paralyzed man to control a computer cursor with their neural impulses. Created by Richard Normann, this device was attached to the skill through an opening in the skin flap.

Neuralink was founded by Elon Musk, Max Hodak, Tim Hanson, Ben Rapoport, and Dongjin Seo in June 2016, with the goal of creating implantable devices that could be inserted into a human’s brain to enhance certain abilities, such as cognitive and neurological conditions.
===Timeline===
In 2017, Neuralink was mentioned for the first time in the public eye at the World Government Summit in Dubai. Musk’s goal was to create a symbiosis between humans and technology.

in 2019 Neuralink made its first debut, showing the implant live in a pig. This highlighted the company’s ability to physically install the chip into live beings and was a proof of concept for future applications.

In 2021, human trials for Neuralink began. Certain people were selected based on artificial criteria, as well as people from a large range of ethnicities.

In 2025, Neuralink mass trials began, with sign-ups possible for those with brain-related disorders such as adhd, bi-polar disorder, and depression. The government approved the installation of the devices into persons for medical purposes.

In 2035, Neuralink became publicly available for the general population. Device availability was scarce. Only 1000 devices were created annually, citing resource management as the main reason for a decrease in supply. Additionally, costs for implementation were around $500,000 USD, as implanting could only be done at the one Neuralink facility in California.

In 2050, prices for Neuralink decreased, citing a sudden mass availability of resources, specifically the gold, required to build the motherboard units of the devices. Prices fell to $100,000 USD, and implanting sites also expanded, as countries such as Canada, The United Kingdom, and China opened locations. This rapidly expanded the user base, with China alone adding around 500,000 users in the first year of international release.

In 2065, prices continued to drop, as cheaper alternatives were found to create the motherboard and other components of the device. Implanting sites opened internationally, with every continent receiving at least 3 implant centers. Device price lowered to $10,000 USD, and surgical complications from the implantation process had all but vanished, most stress from individuals about getting the device.

As of 2070, more than 15 percent of the average global population, approximately 150,000,000 people has installed the device. Creation of special centers for Neuralink only members have created communities where members only interact with one another. Neuralink had worked to remove barriers to entry in recent years, however the easy implementation and low price of the new models have installation percentages rising.

==Economical Impacts==

==Geographical Impacts==
As of 2075, the mass production of Neuralink has had profound environmental impacts. Because of Neuralink’s implementation within human bodies, its production requires natural resources that are native to Canada such as gold, platinum, cobalt and lithium. Historically, these resources are mined in various locations across Canada. Mines across Ontario and Quebec have been rich in gold, cobalt and lithium, and Quebec particularly has many historic quartz mines and silicon refineries. Newer lithium mines in Alberta are keeping Canada as a supplier for Neuralink Corporation despite its slow-down on exporting other resources.
The use of fossil fuels over the years has had an aggravating effect on the global climate crisis, however, recent implementation of small modular reactors (SMRs), a long-anticipated form of nuclear energy, have brought a new hope that the industry might pivot to more sustainable practices.
