The Internet Part III: Technological Teleology

Humans, in our self-created "evolution", have accelerated us.  Many may say that we're becoming weak by depending on tools such as the Internet.  But really, these things have become part of us, just as we may depend on a kidney.  But until we become fully integrated with technology, the fears of obesity and being eaten by a larger animal remain.

But really, what is the purpose of having technology consume us?  In the end, as humans become lazier and lazier, we become cells in a massive global organism called the Internet.  Laziness, as we have it, is a by-product of technology.  Rather than total domination by work, the end of humanity comes when we are actually able to do work without having to work.  But at that point, we as a whole would be born.
