Yeah, Gary, I tend to agree, though outliers can happen. The most consumer-friendly BCI developments are non-invasive, typically in the form of headgear using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

To your latter point, I find it really fascinating how the process of integrating with machine prosthetics and merging digital networks more closely into our heads is changing the very nature of the self. What We Are is changing with the pace of technology.

I think the not too distant future is not going to look much different from the present. Just because we can do something does not mean we will. Look at the ancient Chinese. It is 2010 Sir Arthur Charles Clarke; do you know where your children (of your mind) are?
Who is going to opt for brain surgery what with health care as it is, or will be; should we be optimistic here?
The use of drone weapons coupled with the suicide bomber mentality plus the rising cost of (I assume) and demand for warfare promises the BCI an application.
My own theory concerns the inner world; that we will discover a new way of Being: Movement distilled from other bodily senses with the brain fully engaged with not necessarily any skeletal-muscular correspondence.
