This is the way I see it progressing: initially, it will be something only rich people can afford and will be seen as a status of wealth, followed by it being gradually integrated into out schools, hospitals and common places in general and being sold to us as a necessity to fit in to the system. The prices will obviously go down and it will eventually be a means of the "elites" controlling the "lower" class. Idk if this is to sci-fi-iy or rooted in reality 😭😭

No I don't. The inequality will destroy us.
