You should consider a convo with Steemit's @perceptualflaws.
How one views this seems to be dependent on one's worldview (but not totally).
I just did a blog on technological progress and spiritual decadence. But, again, this is pretty much all worldview dependent. If one is a winner in modernity (say, Shermer or perhaps even The Jews, or gays, or women), one may have a positive view of this.
I agree it's inevitable and can't be stopped but I'm in the 60% side that predicts Frankenstein in the future. It be nice to be wrong though.
Hey, if our tech was from E.T. would that alter your opinion at all? Say, as speculation, that all this tech is coming from The Greys? Hmmm...
