PC parts can’t even go few years without losing backwards compatibility (e.g. cpu sockets changing every few years). Last thing I need is for my physical body to incompatible with the newest and best stuff because I got a permanent implant when the tech wasn’t as evolved. This will always be the problem with invasive technology in my opinion.
So I have a cat chipped 15 years ago, and she can still operate modern devices with it - open doors, get food from a robot.
Not all tech goes obsolete fast, there are legacy compatibility layers!
There are chips that make cats smart enough to operate doors and robots? That's so cool!
Cats are already smart enough, they just find it easier to access the technology using their chips.
No, the doors and robots have to be smart enough to operate for the cat.

Please don't insult cats, it's cats who are smart enough to know how to use their chips! Robots and chips just react as they are programmed.
I think human brain implants might be a bit more complicated than chips for pets.
Yeah but keeping them backwards compatible is gonna be much more important as well
That’s a cable standard. Imagine being stuck with usb 1.
Even that wouldn't be unworkable, it would be worse if you're stuck with the brain equivalent of serial ports just before everyone switches to the USB standard.
