I am not sure if you speak to many Gen-Z type folk... they are not the kind of
people to reject any kind of technological advancement if it makes their lives
easier. There's a distinct differences between old boomers, millenials and the
new generation... attitudes change over periods of time. You might oppose such
implants because they're alien to you. Even getting something small like a
microchip into a boomer/older millenial would be a challenge. We are products
of our age, so if it's normal, and sold as a benefit, people are not going to
be opposed to it.

Smaller implants are going to make their way into the public consciousness over
the next decade and will be heavily normalised within 10-20 years...
implantable brain technology such as Neuralink should be considered somewhat
normal by 2030. These products are going to appeal more to those who were born
after the millenium rather than dinosaurs like us.
