Do you think technology will take over and eventually do everything needed?

Let's take it back to our history books when technology started off in the early ages of the bow, wheel, writing systems and such. Then came the stone ages when music was developed,stones were made into hunting, cooking tools, carveed paintings. The copper and bronze age where the development of agriculture and animal domestication. The iron age was producing even stronger tools for hunting, cooking,and creation of early stages in the written language. Ancient civilization was where most of the greatest advance in engneering and technology. Invention of machines started like the watermill. Medievil and modern technologies came out with clocks,and compasses etc.Renaissance era had the first patent laws and science and technology worked hand in hand. Age of exploration where maps, charts helped travel by sea and open areas. Industrial revolution of creation of textile manufacturing, the use of coal for energy,cast iron and such.The 19th century were creation of steamboats,telegraphs, faster chemical, electrical developments and machines developing other machines.20th century is where implementation of scientific method, electronic computing, magnetic storage of data. The 20th century is when technology took off to vast new areas of inventions. Household appliances,Radio, television and such. Machines in any industries have been developed to do get jobs doone in a quicker fashion where man has been replaced in some ways.Think about if man does the job, it may take longer and probably a bit cheaper to have labor of man. Using technologies could be pricey in the long run but faster. Even communication has started to change, we text, chat , email using cell phones and computers. Automated systems call my landline asking me questions about things. We will probably get to where human interaction is much less and thought of that is scary. Thoughts

no matter how far technology has come to,it still cannot replace the human intelligence it was conceived from.even if you can talk to someone millions of miles apart from you,it will still not replace actual and face-to-face interaction.technology did make things that were once thought impossible,possible now.still,technology shouldn't rule all of our lives.technology is there to make our lives easier,but it doesn't mean it should be all and the end of it all.

Technology has been so convenient and at times makes us a bit lazy. At times we will not want to get up and change a channel because remotes are no tin plain view. It is getting a bit scary to when we no longer want to face loved ones as it is so easy to send a text and or email.
However, if forced to live without it we all will be enraged but eventually like early mankind we somehow learn to adapt.
