OP hasn’t even bothered to glance at the decades-long research on direct mind-to-computer control, much less the recent advancement in non-invasive results from such. They’re clearly imagining a very narrow range of specific technology and implying their personal understanding of the entire field defines the term.
FFS, the written word itself is mind control via technology, but I wouldn’t bet they’re all that familiar with that, either.
To be fair, “change” is different than “control”, with the latter implying intent. Presumably, in this instance, by another mind outside the subject — though I would caution against the assumption that “control implies sentience” as humankind toys with a future wherein control is outsourced, at least in some part, to technology itself. 😶
Sorry, are you implying that writing was invented in 1440 AD? 🤦🏼♂️
Also, you’re already conflating your own malformed definitions with the inclusion of “infection” as “control”. Fuck me, are you typing all this out instead of paying attention in highschool?

Good point. Imo humans are just biological machines responding to stimulus so any stimulus is going to change the system somehow.

Ah yes, the printing press: Likely the most cumulatively subversive memetic infection vector ever conceived.
