In a similar vein, there's lots of work being done on regeneration of nervous tissue. Long-thought to be impossible (once you cut a nerve, it's cut), there are signs that various types of neural injury can be reversed.
I've been following David Sinclair's work for about a year and a half, and one of his students was able to restore neural function in crushed frog optic nerve. By "function," I mean to say that the nerve started to show normal metabolic activity, beyond the "crush" site, not the the frogs were able to see again.

How about we skip wired nerve connections and go straight to Bluetooth or the like for all communication in the body?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
