This is the most likely scenario. It'll start in physical extremities (it already has), then move to sensory functions, then memory and deeper into the brain. There will be luddites drawing lines in the sand at every step but they'Ll be minorities. The end result will probably be human consciousness on computer hardware. Ray Kurzweil (sp?) is a great read for some cool thoughts and predictions on it, predictions made over ten years ago at that.

The thing is, what is the point of keeping separate conciousness at this point? Ie why should you, I, my wife stick around as separate entities?

Once humans merge and lose their biological components, why continue with multiple machine/man intelligences?

Seems like at that point the "intelligent" thing to do is get rid of competing influences. You don't need other "minds" for progress, just more hardware for calculations.
