Will a Computer “Symbiote” be Implanted in Future Human Brains?

A quote from the article:
"Scientists at the University of Florida aren’t just creating a neural implant that can translate human brain signals, but one that can act independently to increase its efficiency and synergy with the brain as it learns new things."
Just another technology that the church is going to have to be prepared to engage and think about theologically, morally and philosophically. What if neural implants could be programmed to help us sin less, know the Scriptures better and give us boldness to evangelize? Will churches then have programmers on staff updating people's brains turning them into techno-disciples? What if someone's computer chip is reprogrammed by someone evil person causing them to do something heinous? Did they sin or was it just a computer abuse or glitch?

This is not just some far fetched scientist's sci-fi idea. Real scientists are working on this stuff. Hopefully real theologians might begin thinking about it also.
