The year is 2050 - and we have a much better understanding and literacy around emotions.
Since the concept of emotional intelligence became popular in the late 20th century, more people want to explore and increase their emotional intelligence. While much of the medical research was done to explore the impact on communication with asperger’s, the technology got attention from individuals interested in optimizing their emotional experiences to increase empathy and human connection. Early medical research programs developed practical working concepts that allow an emotional connection between individuals through the use of an embedded technology.
The embedding process takes place by a trained nurse at a pharmacy clinic. The procedure takes no more than 20 minutes and is painless. It is follow-up by a series of bio-stabilization pills to ensure the technology connects with the nervous system. After a transition period of 3 days, the individual can activate their connection interface. The interface is access through a bio-chip in the mobile device. It can also pair with data-jewelry or augmented reality screens worn on the body.
There have been some concerns that the bio-tattoos from some companies can be hacked or susceptible to viruses.
Adoption primarily happened in the medical community, until a group of transhumanists hackers reverse engineered the technology and experimented with it. There was some medical concern when 3d printable plans were posted to the internet and some tried the implant procedure themself - with poor results. These mistakes lead to the development of affordable implants and implant procedures.
While the technology is affordable for middle class developed nation status, it remains expensive for developing nations. Empathy connection technology is primarily consumed by middle-class demographics in developed nations. Some cultures have a stigma against the procedure and have forbid the technology usage. While the implant can be removed at any time with no adverse impact to the body/nervous system, it does leave a small scar. Many people see the implant procedure as a positive rite of passage that enables them to more deeply connect with loved ones.
