It's off topic, but true.  See http://shadowrun.html.com/uol/datajack.html
for a couple of the reports.  Not exactly the hot-DNI datajack of
cyberpunk fiction yet, but proof of possibility.  Someday we may all
have PCs implanted and wired directly into our brains, all connected
to the internet via wireless modems.  Billions of people communicating
by artificial telepathy at the speed of thought.  (Remember to disable
Visual Brain Scripting in your neurobrowser.)  But for now it's just
a couple of electrodes used as mouse/joystick axes, which take over
important nerves.  Think I read somewhere that it took about five
minutes to get the cursor to the right place and click an icon, but
they're hopeful for speed increases in the future.
