Technology as an extension of our fascination with tools

Generally all technology is the extension of the fascination and interest with tools.
# First we made physical tools to master the physical and mechanical world.
# Then now we have moved on to the electronic tools.
They recreate the "mind layer" starting with the function of MEMORY.
The idea was to capture all memory.
The Internet and all its nodes(computers) are the foundation of the "digital mind" we have built.
Which is an extension of our very own mind.
Generally the creative action mimics the principles of reproduction.
That is, the node tries to replicate itself multiple times first -> and then it proceeds to form a network of connection -> and then it extends all of its individual functionality more and more to the larger network created -> So that eventually the node itself becomes transparent, and all its capabilities are spread throughout the network.
This exact process is followed in the tech development today too, 
Like how initially we started with the desktop computer, where storage -processing - and I/O was all handled within the setup.
Then this was replicated, and millions of such machines were produced.
Then it moved on to the dimension of the internet, where a huge connection infrastructure (wired and wireless) was put in place.
And finally, now we have things like cloud computing and cloud storage that offloads the individual nodes from needing to do all of that and distributing all computation an storage across the entire network.
This kind of principle applies to even human beings.
That is how we formed groups and then societies.
Laid all the transport systems,. the societies resource carry and distribution carrier we call money (just like blood which is the carrier of the distilled resources in our own body).
And slowly the society takes on forms like culture and the individual people offload their individual processing into the hive mind of culture/society.
# The Ra-Law of One, states that eventually all humans would fuse into a super mind creating a Social memory complex, which is exactly akin to the principle I stated, where storage and computation are distributed evenly throughout the network, creating a holographic super-meta-mind.
This would be such that each node/individual here can speak for the whole as the whole and will showcase all the capability present in the whole. 

Ultimately even today, we are still driven by our evolutionary determined biology.
Human nature and the human body has still not changed in the past 10000 years.
We are fundamentally the same, but only our tools are different.
All of our tools were all created as an attempt to overcome the limitations of nature.
So what is our deepest limitation? It is our own body.
We have still not come to that stage yet and we still have a long way to go.
Right now we are only addressing our body limitations at a band-aid like level.
We are just trying to give people tools to stay functional until they die and leave this plane.
We have various systems to assist, prolong, or enhance life/various faculties that we have.
But the nodes of this network are still driving the whole network, and these nodes are mostly living off animal natures. We are still subject to the same pain/suffering and other animal instincts as we were 1000s of years ago.
So in the future, going along the trajectory of technology we are in now,
We will most certainly get into the region of transhumanism and genetic engineering.
This is to transcend our fundamental biological limitations while existing as a body in this plane.
