To Destroy or to Live

As all of us know, we are rapidly advancing with all of these new innovations and discoveries. What we see is just technology and more technology piling up for our lives to be better and to get a better understanding of our world. Of course, this is our human instincts kicking in and making us wonder what happens if something were to combine with another object, or is there something that could be better than what we have as of now. This could easily say that we are continually trying to achieve something different from what we actually want: immortality. We have greatly increased our lifespan since the beginning of time, but that is just natural. We want to live longer, but from what I could see, people want to live forever. This could easily backfire though. If we keep trying to improve our lives, we will see these new technological beings that work to make us feel better, or even be fused with us, making us humans part cyborg. This could even destroy us if we do not control what we invent. What are your opinions on this topic? Will the human race destroy ourselves with these new technologies that will come, or will the human race come to a halt to further increase our capabilities to live and get a better understanding of our world?
