Elon Neuralink

Elon Musk's Neuralink project presents both significant environmental and scientific considerations. The production of this device could either contribute to pollution if unsustainable materials and fossil fuel-dependent factories are used, or it could align with Musk'

Social

This device currently benefits people that are paralyzed or deal with physical disabilities as it is only available to the that group of people. This device can help them function more psychically have larger roles in society.


This device can have a large impact on the world's lifestyle as it will make many technological aspects of life more convenient. However it can people more technology dependent. Also, if it provides users with a physical advantage, it may eliminate the effects of serious physical injuries ending in someone being paralyzed.

Economic

If many people are unable to afford it, it may give them a technological disadvantage if they become common in society. This could cause a economic and cultural divide in society of the wealthy have physical and mental advantages over the poor.
The device is currently very expensive for those able to buy it, and in the future once it is available to the public it will most likely be quite expensive. If the product is in high demand, stakeholders and the company its self will benefit

environmental consequences

Or since Elon Musk is known for being an advocate for sustainable energy, the device may be produced using sustainable sources of energy to decrease any possible environmental impact
Production of this device could take place in factories that emit fossil fuels and lead to pollution

The device most likely be made by unsustainable materials

Personal

Currently, the Neuralink does not impact my lifestyle as I would not be eligible to purchase or test the device


In the future, if the testing is successful this could be very common and be used by people across the world, and using a chip in my brain may be something I will be using in order to keep up with future lifestyles
