Whether it’s the answer or not, technology will never not evolve; I find its best to learn to work with it and not against it.

Stuff like that makes me gain sympathy for the luddites. Wasn't the purpose of technology always to solve human problems? This is more akin to seeing technology as some sort of mystical independent force that we have to obey and be glad if it occasionally solves problems.

The former is making a fire to heat your home, the latter is the mindset of a pyromaniac.

It is certainly possible that humanity meets some obstacle short of AGI, or civilization collapses to the point that no further technological development is possible.

Technology will always evolve, but it might evolve back to knapping flint and starting fires with sticks.
