That's a very good one, and We already have brain "implants"that can be upgraded, they are called "laptops" or "tablets", the difference is they are no directly linked to the brain. I wonder if the intermediate state will be to have a kind of "Bluetooth" implant that can communicate with those portable devices before the devices becomes more synthetic/organic and can be seamlessly integrated in the human body.

I think a brain implant requires a BCI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%E2%80%93computer_interfac...

Yes, wireless would be possible but the connection to the brain and speaking the same language are the biggest hurdles.

There is a ton of cool stuff that will become available in the medical industry in the next few years. There's no reason why we can't have a miniature "factory" inside of our bodies to regulate levels of everything and even create cures for diseases or viruses that might infect us.

Monitoring the body will also become more popular. A few small sensors throughout the body to monitor vitals and any information available about the human body via your phone.

It's coming soon, just be patient and don't vote for people who will suppress technological research and progress.
