Hey man, just want you to know, you are not the only one who still believes in humans.
Humans can only rely on humans to save human's problems, not machines.

Grim.
I think humans are not moral, powerful and responsible enough to handle powerful technologies. When nuclear weapons came out, everyone freaked out because we all seem to aware that if the technology went into the wrong hand, it would be disastrous for humanity. Alot of powerful tools are being used wrongly by humans. For example: vehicles, the internet and soon atificial intelligence. Vehicles are powerful walker, they walk for human, but as they walk for us, the need for us to be physical is also cut short, that's why alot of people living in first-world countries aren't as healthy as they are supposed to be. AI is a powerful thinker, they will replace human's thinking, not enrich our imagination as many has thought.

Reply to Which Sci-fi book/Movie/Short Story has technology closest to something in our future. (What would be your guess) by Ortus12
The early settings of Dune by Frank Herbert. I think it's a possibility since alot of people are afraid of technology because how powerful it is to handle, soon when their fear turn into reality, people will take action against the tools they can't yet control.

Happiness doesn't pair well with power, only balance does. I don't get why people keep chasing power, building powerful tools just because they can when it clearly shows that power doesn't give them a loving, happy and healthy life. People in the modern day era are living a convenient yet boring and depressive life, when cyborgs come, nothing will ever change, power will keep scaling up and most power belongs the minority who control it.
