I agree with your point, and that probably has to be a more long-term milestone that has to be achieved for it to work well and integrate seamlessly.

I think the short-term idea is to use the extreme adaptability of the human brain to reprogram itself to send and receive data from external machines. There are already prototypes of robotic arms that are not only controlled via a brain interface, but also give sensory feedback via it.
