That is how primitive cyberpunk novels fail. I am pretty sure I don't want to replace my eyeballs with mechanical eyes.

You might not, that doesn't mean that nobody does. I think I have meet 3 people face to face with implants to be able to perceive magnetic fields.

Need not be implants. The NorthPaw http://sensebridge.net/projects/northpaw/ or the feelspace belt http://feelspace.cogsci.uni-osnabrueck.de/ are cool despite being devices - precisely because they quickly fade into the subconscious.

Yes, there are non-implant solution but that doesn't change the fact that there are people willing to use implants.
