Thats my problem. If a jack is a direct neural interface with i/o ability then
neither riggers nor deckers need more. If a jack is merely a input mechanism -
one that only allows viewing, then why stick metal in your head - surely by
2054 VR goggles would be fast and vivid enough to perform the same function.
Moreover, there is no need to implant a rig in someones body if he still has to
go through the physical acts of piloting. And if a rigger controls a vehicle by
just thinking about it (by simulating in his mind the act of physically pilotin
g) then again a i/o brain jack should do.
