I've been thinking about something along these lines for a while. A few months ago the science fiction writer William Hertling wrote an interesting blog post that, among other things, predicts we will have implantable computers by 2030.

It strikes me that this will enable a whole range of behavior optimization based on the computer having access to info provided by your body chemistry.

Before you get your hopes too far up, here's a bunch of sci-fi writers trying to predict 2012 in 1987.

Humans are horrible at predicting future trends beyond a couple of years.

True, but Hertling has a good track record and limits his predictions to computer capacity based on Moore's law.
