The human mind is far more complex than you, simplisticly, imagine. Add 100+ years to your prediction and you may be right.
You're just not hearing about it. Of course being at an early, and underground stage, means that there are probably a massive number of rejects and defectives. Remember, Edison's group had a hundred (roughly) failures to invent a light bulb before they got one to work to spec. Now apply that to genetic manipulation.
My head is already in the clouds.
Seriously though, this is interesting. I think once humans learn to manipulate our genes, everyone born will have an IQ that will make Einstein look a little on the slow side. Things like this will appear incredibly simple-minded.

Already in information overload, the very last thing I would want is for my brain to be connected to the cloud, Internet, or any other massive data source. Enough is enough.
You don't have to absorb everything in the cloud; just look for the interesting stuff. Like this blog!
How do you stop the Crackers from cloning your Brain and totally destroying your life?
Within the past few days a Romanian Gang was caught who had cracked several Hundred Business in AU and stolen Plastic Details. They then made their own plastic and ran up 30M + in sales on those stolen Bank Cards.
Just how much more harm could they manage to do if they could clone your brain?
They got details on 30,000 Cards and ran up sales of $30,000,000.00 which is effectively $1 Million per card.
Thanks but NO THANKS there still is no where near enough security for Dumb Plastic Cards right now to even consider linking your Brain to the Cloud.

and there has been some success, but it's not YET small enough to make it mobile or 100% accurate. I have no doubt it will eventually get there, and then the issue will be cost per unit and soon followed by bandwidth and inter connect-ability for person to person communications.
But what happens if you're hacked not just by hackers but what about the network hacking you and controlling you.

way - Elizabeth Moon has the sue of such a device as an integral part of society in one of her series and the story Oath of Feality also has a useful way of using such as device but protections would be needed.
the sheep will fall all over themselves to get an implant.
However just wait until reboots start happening. LOL

Bring On Real Google?
Who would have ever thought of that?
All that the Cybermen would require is the Lie that you'll be part of Google or Apple and the majority would rush in and overload the Conversion System.
They would get even more takers if they charged them enormous prices for the privilege.

On the grounds I'll get into so much trouble that it's not worth the time and effort.
But didnt there used to be a Apple Queen once upon a time?
It was in Stanthorpe AU and she was crowned at the Apple Carnival.
See you learn what the Mighty Apple Corp has been doing under the Radar without even asking before they got into electronics.

No doubt these things will have some sort of monitoring capability built-in. The corporations will LOVE these things. Think about it. Not only can they feed ads directly into our brains, they might even be able to "force" us into buying something.
The copyright police will go totally ballistic too. They'll figure out a way to determine every time we hear or see a piece of copyrighted material and charge us for it.
The wheel? Sliced bread? Bah! Mere trinkets when compared to being a part of the corporate hive mind.

I think embedding technology into humans is a stop-gap solution. The ultimate solution is for technology to interact with us, without contact.
We've made a start. I think there was an episode of NOVA Science Now showing mind control. The user wears an uncomfortable headdress with a bunch of electrodes that pick up scalp electrical activity. It's primitive, but we are on the way to when I can merely think "Wash the bathroom" at my robot, instead of yelling at it.
With a Shot Gun and then the Surgeon closes the Opening.
What they mean by Non-Invasively Inserted is that the Surgeon doesn't do the Invasive Surgery they just get to close it up.
But seriously I would Imagine that are talking about Nano-probes which are injected into the Blood Stream and then settle in the brain. Not really sure how you would interface with them though.

you have to be invasive even if it is in your arm. 
On a serious note, tho. The blood brain barrier would probably not let those little Nano-probes get anywhere near brain tissue.

Yes after the New World Order has been established and after the comming genocide of 90% of the world population the remaining people will be chipped and brainwashed anyway. Rockefeller & Rothschild clans are working eagerly to reach their goals.
No more typing keywords into a search field!
No more fumbling with encyclopedias!
No more asking annoying people for info!
As usual, I was born 50 years too soon.

Sounds rather invasive to me...

And is the number of the beast 666? The bible has forecast this. God help us all.
that's just how it got translated by some dumbass back in King James' day. The number of the beast is based on a numerology canon and should be written as 6-6-6 as it's a name in three parts like William Henry Gates where the numbers of each name add up to 6. And you also need to know if they were using the lesser canon or the greater canon too. But say each letter had a value equal to that of it's place order in the alphabet - won't really work in English as the original was done in Greek, but for an example: G=7, a=1, t=20, e=5, s=19, you get 7+1+20+5+19=52 which condenses to 5+2=7 in on version; in the other version t=20 condenses to 2+0=2, s=19 condenses to 1+9=10 condenses to 1+0=1, thus it's 7+1+2+5+1=16 condenses to 7.
This topic has definitely been covered extensively in sci-fi for years. My two favorite depictions are Ghost in the Shell - via neural implants. Very cool stuff (and even thought up WAY back in the early 90's). And Stargate SG1 in Season 7 episode 5 (circa 2003), where the entire society has little neural links (but the computer ends up erasing memories, etc.)
Anyway, fascinating thought and i dont doubt for one second that we'll get there in the next century.

a removable implant device in the temple to store data and link into computers for direct neural access.
I don't think I'd like to remain trapped in a neural network for all eternity (or at least till the next great power failure). Luckily, with my life style chances are I'll be dead before 2030.
