Sure you can paint painting electronically but no substitute for the real thing.

this tech will be useless once they figure out how to grow legs and arms.

Imagine being a bit distracted by a hot woman in a red dress ... and spontaneously downshifting.
No thanks ... I'll take the nice 'n simple mechanic system.

Plus, I'm waiting for someone to start complaining that it adds extra weight to their bikes.

i think this would literally be the only time that you would not be able to "forget" about electronic shifting.

I'll just mention that the shifting is still "electronic" and the power is supplied by the Di2 battery, not the brain. The brain only supplies the signals, in this case picked up by electrodes on the head instead of directed through muscles to fingers and lever switches.

+1. Still electronic, just controlled with the brain.
