Well, yeah. We're both speaking hypothetically here. I'm just using the destruction of all electronic technology as a catalyst for our discussion. The question is whether or not we become more primitive as a result of our reliability on technology. If the technology isn't removed at some point, then there's no discussion.

No, because it wouldn't happen. Equal treatment laws would most definitely extend to those without brain chips, assuming the majority of the population had them.

But, what job could we possibly be applying for that a robot hasn't already fulfilled at this point in the future?

You would be able to choose what things that you wanted to learn like learning how to speak a certain language or how to do math. Perhaps at every single place where careers are held, they might hold special information to add to your brain chip so that you automatically know how to do something in that field. The brain chips could have universal upgrades for everyone that includes certain items that a futuristic agency would have to inform society of.
At this rate, you'll be getting patents for it soon!
