It’s been a few years since I last read it, but from what I recall the devices themselves can be pretty much the same, but it might vary where exactly they “plug in”. Also each individual user will have to learn how to use the device. That knowledge gap is supposed to decrease as the technology improves.
Initially it will be used to improve the lives of people with disabilities, but eventually it will be used for direct communication and beyond. For starters, it took me a few minutes to type out this response on my phone, being bottlenecked by my fingers and SwiftKeys insistence that I meant different words. If I could just “think” the words directly into the input fortis field, it would have been much faster.
Imagine how much worse the internet will be when content is created at the speed of everyone’s thoughts and not even even the slightest moment to be rethought as they are typed.

Faster than 1 finger swiping, yes. But not faster than I can think the words.

Have you every looked at YouTube comments? The difference might be smaller than you think.
