Eh, I think a huge amount of people would never want anything implanted in any part of their body. Most people don't even want smart glasses.

Most people didn’t want to carry a computer around with them all the time 40 years ago as well.

Though I don’t agree that AR would eliminate the usefulness of websites.

Except a necessary, special purpose device, e.g. a pacemaker, I wouldn't have anything implanted.

Now, an artificial ear for the deaf starts to be more compelling.

I have read that some deaf people do not want cochlear implants because their deafness is part of who they are, their identity. They don't want that taken away.
