‘We are not only becoming techno zombies in this society, but now, people are lining up willingly to pay $200 to get their own shock collar bracelet that will help them “retrain” their behaviors with a few (hundred) painful zap treatments (oh, and mild vibrations). It’s even actually called the The Pavlok, named after you guessed it, Ivan Pavlov, the Russian physiologist who came up with Pavlovian conditioning.
The aversion (shock) will program a person to avoid whatever bad habit they are being trained against, and the company claims it works in five days or less to “delete temptation” by associating a zap with a person’s bad habit, training their brain to dislike said habit. No, they don’t know what the long-term effects to wearing the Pavlok are, but the local news station below calls it “340 Volts of Wearable Willpower”.
Can you imagine what would happen if parents start putting these on their children? Would CPS step in?’

‘Whenever I’m on a long road trip, chomping down on a piece of gum helps me stay awake. I don’t choose gum because it’s bright white or glossy, but because the burst of sweet minty freshness really keeps me going.
Thanks to nanotechnology, I have my choice of brilliant white gum, silky soups, and countless other foods—from crackers to coffee creamers—with futuristic properties that seem to defy nature.
And so do you, though you may not know it.’
