I remember seeing a show on the Discovery channel a while ago about people who had chosen to live their lives a cyborgs.

The additional computer connectivity gave them access to metadata through specially coded signs that would display text in their heads-up display and allowed them to be constantly in contact with an Internet full of data.

MIT's Media Lab, as they do, has started to bring this to a practical end by making the technology interact with everyday items around you automatically.

This is an 8 minute video from TEDTalks. It gets really interesting when they show dialing the projected phone:
