Hey Steve, 

ABC ran that story on Matt Nagle several times overnight.  Seeing those
wires running to his head and watching him interface with computers 
merely by thinking prompted thoughts about the characters in the 
Matrix movies.  There was also a movie called eXistenZ which had
characters jacking in to virtual reality games via a port in their 
bodies.  I don't remember much about the Johnny Mnemonic movie which
involved a character carrying data in something like a hard drive
implanted in his head, but these recent posts about chips and interfaces
with computers have me thinking about your comment about science 
fiction becoming reality.  I'm certain the creators of these and 
similar movies were looking at what was going on in the labs and
they were projecting, envisioning where this might lead.
