I have no doubt that it will — but in five years? That seems more than a little overly optimistic. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Oddly enough, this sort of thing rarely appears in science fiction, at least the SF I know of. When people in SF literature deal with computers, it’s almost always by way of speech or some sort of physical controls, except in cyberpunk novels and (notably) Peter F. Hamilton’s “Night’s Dawn” and “Mindstar” trilogies (maybe others of his, those are the only ones I’ve read so far). Even in Anne McCaffrey’s brainship novels, only “shellpeople” — physically malformed but intellectually normal humans, whose only chance for survival is being placed in a metal “shell” at birth and dealing with the physical world only through computer interfaces — have that sort of capability.

SF movies and TV shows are even less flexible, since the actors have to have something to do on the screen. The only two exceptions that I can recall there are 1995’s Johnny Mnemonic (which I may well be misremembering) and the TV series Andromeda (where one of the characters has a direct brain interface, though most are stuck with the usual physical and voice controls).
