Depends what you're looking for. You could just as easily argue how similar we are. Besides, I don't expect it any time soon either, but it only takes one big rock to come our way.

Seems like a very optimistic way of viewing things, too optimistic IMO. You say to look around, if anything this technology has given us more of a reason to fear apocalypse. Between self-inflicted global warming and nuclear weapons that could one day decimate the entire earth, I honestly see no reason to think technology is some determining factor that goes in our favour. Don't get me wrong, I think we could achieve amazing things. I think the only probable way of us escaping death on this earth is to escape the earth itself and eventually explore the stars. But how far off is that? I don't see it happening any time soon. I'd say it's way more likely we fuck ourselves over before we save ourselves.
