I think of the tasp as written by Larry Niven in his Known Space books. People would get their brains wired, plug into the house current and eventually stop eating because they preferred to not interrupt the pleasure. Folks added batteries so you could tasp yourself as you went about your day.
Addiction to the tasp was widespread and difficult to break, but it was a self-correcting problem in that people addicted stopped contributing to the gene pool. Remote control taspers were developed so you could tasp an unsuspecting passerby and make their day. Only problem was people tasped that way often became addicted as well.
Interesting reading. I always recommend Niven.
