Not going to happen. There aren't many problems that are best solved by sticking electronics in your body, and most of them are of the form "you are going to die or have very poor quality of life if we don't stick this thing in you." This stuff is more like body mods for nerds, LEDs instead of skull spikes. Which isn't a bad thing, but is just retreading the whole modern primitive thing with a science fiction flavor.
