Yes however the rate of expansion of tech and AI is unprecedented in human history. I’m not saying I ascribe to this but the “transhumanist” crowd strongly believes it. Ray Kurzweil and others believe in a “singularity”.....the point at which tech and AI becomes all powerful....essentially God.

In fact they believe it is part of humanity’s natural “evolution” to become one with tech and even shed our carbon based bodies altogether and live in tech or whatever.

I know it sounds like science fiction. I don’t personally believe in it but it is a VERY trendy ideology.

Have you seen the movie “Surrogates” (2009)? It’s a way-too-close to plausible vision of what happens to a world with too much dependence on technology.
