We are not just maggots on a dung-heap; human society is struggling to break free of the primordial-mud, like a butterfly from its chrysalis but, as yet, it have not severed the umbilical-chord of antiquity. What the future holds; who knows; but, with technology we are progressing and technology is the tool of humans and of no other species. PlaneCrazy's knowledge of the state of current technology is unique and where he thinks it is taking us is fascinating and we are privileged to have it!
I don't doubt that technology is necessary or unavoidable. It is more about how we are going to use technology to benefit us, and it has not always been used for that. It has often been used to serve a small class of people. We also need to be aware of how limited natural resources are. We can't (at this time) go beyond what our planet can support, or we will be in BIG trouble!
