Call me radical, but I think total electronic controls will eventually come to the bicycle. If you look at how much of our life/devices including automobiles are using them, it will happen. I don't know how I feel about that. For the brakes, I'm thinking a pressure strip running the length of the handlebars will replace the brake levers. Look at those bars. Maybe it runs down the center on the top or bottom. Or maybe it loops around like where the tape overlaps. Simple pressure would activate the brakes. The rider and the control would adapt quickly. Just like playing a video game or driving your car. That's good or bad, depending on a person's point of view.
