I think most people would and will be very leery of putting technology into their bodies, other than things that help them live (pacemakers, artificial organs, limbs, etc)
Particularly if it involves connecting to the brain. In sci-fi books and movies, you see people with neural implants to enhance their senses or adding in memory capacity (Johnny Mnemonic) or to connect to computers. But in reality that would be pretty scary.
1. The technology would be invasive and could cause brain damage - and we might not know about it for years afterwards.
2. Technology changes very fast, so anything you put inside your body or brain would become obsolete pretty quickly and who wants to have operations every couple of years?
3. Doctors themselves are usually not keen on doing operations that are not absolutely necessary.

I have read enough science fiction to know why some of it wouldn't be possible and why other things should not be attemptedsigpic

Gutfeld has pointed out that most people are already quasi-cyborgs because they are almost never separated from their smart phones. Since its original splash, "Google Glass" hasn't gotten much notice, but it's still around. Neural interfaces are happening, and they're not necessarily invasive. Another article.
