An obvious one: The Lawnmover Man - Intelligence Amplification, The
Government Can Be Nasty
Until The End of the World: PDAs running knowbots and agents used for
tracking people through their transactions, neurointerfacing techniques.
Interesting thing to note: In "The Empire Strikes Back" Luge gets a
bionic hand at the end, and it is depicted very neutrally (as opposed to
the general anti-bionic bias in most movies). It is just seen as an
ordinary medical procedure.
