Do you think there will ever be a convergence of technology into the human body?

I was thinking today about how much I love my phone, and how much it’s capable of doing. And then I tried thinking of what this sort of technology could evolve into.

Can you imagine, you open your eyes, and you have a display, that you can customize using your mind, or perhaps an external connection to a PC or Mac. The time in the top left of your view, GPS grid coordinates, you can bring up the weather with a thought. Set alarm clocks to wake you up, keep track of events and dates. Perhaps facial recognition software so you know exactly who you’re talking to all the time… The options could go on, you just have to simply download updates, or something like that.

Update your facebook, twitter, and other social networking sites by simply using your mind. Internet access inside you all the time. Perhaps the ability to record things you see, so you’d be able to show people exactly what you mean when you try and describe an event.

Do you think such things would be possible with the use of nanotechnology? It’s hard to imagine something like this being possible. I’m sure if you took many of the gadgets we have today and showed it to a person 50 years ago, they’d be completely amazed by it. I just wonder if something like this might happen in our lifetimes, of if you think it would happen at all.

What do you think?
