Heh.

It's more the ultimate portability and creativity. being able to create your own interface to fit whatever space confines you deem fit would be great. To be able to do away with screens and just display in open space would help as well.

Biointegration is a tricky part.
However, a lot of things can be done using more classical means.
Retinal projection and kinect like wearable minisensors would enable people to control more or less any system with gestures at any time.
Myoelectric sensors can with training result in signals from imperceptible movements.
Actual two-way direct neural interfacing however is a different story, of course it's possible with optogenetics but requires both gene therapy and surgery for the fiber interface.

Today, 2011 you can get yourself commercial robotic prosthetics of various kinds. They might not work like an awsome real hand but give it 15 years or so and it will definitely improve.

You mean regenerative medicine then? The interesting part about that is that once we can induce the regrowth pathways in humans we'll very quickly go from "minor regrowth" to fully functional limb regrowth. Something which may have rather curious consequences as a dysfunctional arm could be repaired by amputating and regrowing a new one.

Regenerating a new limb would be the best, but I was thinking more like the arm showed in the Sarif Industries video

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to pull it off within 15-20 years

It's rather amusing that animals are the first users of cutting edge technology, be it BCI or stem cell treatments.
