Thanks to Chris Reher for this article. So, you remember Sebastian the AI in my books, and Lizs inability to explain the anomaly (another name for Kurzweils Singularity) ? Well, here he is talking about Neural implants. The gradual introduction of nonbiological systems into our bodies and brains will be just another example of the continual turnover of parts that comprise us. It will not alter the continuity of our identity any more than the natural replacement of our biological cells do. We have already largely outsourced our historical, intellectual, social, and personal memories to our devices and the cloud. The devices we interact with to access these memories will become smaller and smaller, making their way into our bodies. It will be a useful place to put them—we won’t lose them that way. slate/articles/technology/technology/2012/11/ray_kurzweil_are_you_still_you_if_your_brain_is_enhanced_with_neural_implants.html
