[ WP ] They finally figured out the use for male nipples . And it 's going to change the world as we know it .

The world has become a strange place. A place governed by ones and zeros. A place connected by an invisible network of information and applications. In the last few years augmented reality, computing power, the cloud, connectivity, miniaturization and neural networks have steadily changed the life of almost every person on the planet. Some call these leaps progress, others paint a darker picture, one that if left unchecked could alter our civilization and lead to its downfall. 
 
 
 The investment in these technologies has a become a trillion-dollar industry. An industry that nations depend on for their infrastructure, accounting and to securely encrypt their secrets. An industry that now has the power to support, destabilize or destroy almost any nation on earth. To these corporations any edge over the competition must be seized in order to maintain their dominance within the market place. Unethical practices evolved over the years. It may have started off with the use of the occasional sweat shop which lead to slave labor and wages with no regard for the health of the workers. 
 
 
 It wasn ’ t enough though. Corporate espionage, sabotage and even murders have become common place. All in the name of advancement, of power and of money. It was at this time that BECT Corp became a rising star. Bio Enhanced Chip Technologies ( BECT ) introduced a new neural network chip that outperformed anything the world had seen. Encryptions that should take a thousand years to crack were undone in less than a second. Sever farms disappeared, replaced by what was once a simple tablet. Within a year the things of science fiction were becoming a reality. 
 
 
 BECT ’ s technology was both a god send and a curse. It allowed holographic medical technologies, the introduction of autonomous agricultural robots and a home version called digital assistants. It also tied together every camera feed in the world, every electronic communication and every satellite. The ultimate intelligence apparatus. It provided them with near unlimited influence with the governments of the world. It was then at the height of their power that the truth began to come out. 
 
 
 News reports would surface and be silenced within minutes as BECT ’ s computers controlled the flow of information across the globe. After months a story slowly developed that BECT ’ s amazing chips used biological tissue as a building material. This came as no surprise. It was common knowledge that a true neural processor would most likely contain something of the sort. The world was not alarmed by any of this. 
 
 
 A day came where the information feed was hijacked. I watched the events unfold on my tablet. There were shirtless men yelling of being tortured by BECT. The world stopped and watch, either in horror or disbelief. The feed couldn ’ t be stopped and the video told everyone the truth. Years ago BECT used human tissue to experiment with in their processors. They found after several attempts that the neural structure of the male nipple provided the perfect foundation for their chips. A video flash of a man at the doctor ’ s office undergoing a holographic health screening. He was intentionally misdiagnosed. He was told the skin on and under his nipple was cancerous. 
 
 
 The man was told he had two choices, to have them removed or to die a horrible death. Of the course the man complied and the video flashed forward showing the man ’ s nipples being placed into a box labeled BECT. It showed that same box, at BECT ’ s processing plant. The skin stretched thin across some sort of electro-mechanical device and being worked into a new processor. That new processor placed in a BECT ’ s tablet and sent out into the world. 
 
 
 My heart was racing as I slowly pulled my shirt away from my hairy chest. A chest with no nipples. I had heard this story; I had lived this story. I looked back at my tablet, my mind continuing to race as I thought “ Was my nipple in there? If it ’ s not mine than whose is it?
