In 2019, I'd have said the lowest functionality bar would be an effective keyboard/mouse replacement. In current year?
As for society passing me by? I don't even need a real phone, let alone a smart phone. Society needs to get off my lawn.

That became a plot point in Ghost in the Shell. Like that one guy they turned into an assassin and had manufactured a life in his memories, then he finds out they were never real and he breaks down.
That sort of shit would be scary, but only possible if we cracked the ability to form memories or alter personality via an implant.

I've been rereading the spiral wars and one of the cool implant things the navy guys can do is "formulate" over coms. They sort of think-speak and the implant translates it into real speech to send over coms. They need it alot because they can't speak during high G burns and such, but it is also used by marines when they are sneaking about.

It was Larry Niven's "ARM" universe (used in multiple stories) where you had Wireheads, who had a brain stimulator device like it.
And yes, the "legal" versions had limiters in the amount it could deliver.

Details about the state of the monkeys emerged in the reports. In one case, a primate had its neural interface attached through a substance called "bioglue" that destroyed parts of its brain, the group claimed based on the records.

I'm hoping for the reverse. Figure out how to upload me to a cloud. Obvious Sci fi shows show where that could go wrong. But id love to be an immortal digital entity where I "work" doing like digital data entry/it whatever half the time, then the rest of the time peruse the media of the world.
Lol then get hate crimed on the telephone with customers for being a ghost.
