Technology spontaneously approaching humanity with the passage of time

Tools once helped early man increase his survivability, and they became more and more useful as means to achieve our goals. Today, innovations in technology have allowed us to fabricate tools of increasing complexity. As we recognize that the most effective tools have human characteristics, such as a computer capable of learning, we will give our tools these characteristics. If technological innovations continue, we could actually create tools that are human, or at least beings …

…a more tranquil state of mind, perhaps best illustrated by the peaceful smiles we remember on our grandparents' faces.
