Has technology gone to far?

Machines are quite capable of making food products, and they do.
Also you're lame for making a sandwich joke.
It's only a matter of time until the robots take over. After movies like iRobot and Terminator I'm sacred.

why do you write normally here but nowhere else?
Yes and no. Yes, because I can see what littlea53 means by saying technology is keeping us from manual labor, or at least, it's an excuse that a lot of people use to avoid manual labor. No, because really, technology is part of what keeps track of earthquakes, hurricanes, and quite a bit of other stuff that we need warning of. Plus, because of technology helping more medicines for diseases can be discovered so I can't say technology has gone too far in most senses. Mostly the problem is with the abuse done by people.

so its gone to far because it turns small repetive jobs into higher paying ones by repair and coming up with faster more efficient robots?

This isn't the job's fault.
Its the person not getting out and excercising when they are not on the job

No. I can see your point though. When stuff like the matrix happens, then we will have gone too far. Technology does not cause laziness, but, if anything, enables it because physical labor is not as necessary as it used to be.
I don't think that is what the OP is talking about, and it is in fact possible.

Yep. It's only a matter of time before we build a board with a nail in it so big it will destroy us all!
I think technology hasn't gone too far, but then again I think they should redirect their efforts to stuff that's more beneficial to mankind, rather than spreading itself out too far with researchers that use up a LOT of money for research on aliens, or bigfoot or whatever. They needsta get their priorities straight for the time of being.
Well, this is just MY opinion, feel free to argue against it.

Why limit the possibilities? Not everything is as straight forward as you might think.
I support alien research because there's a strong possibility that they could exist for example there's the crop circles, ufo sightings and earth-like planets. However there's no evidence for creatures like bigfoot with the exception of crappy photo's.
I strongly believe that they exist too, but I'm just saying that they should focus more on the immediate problems that can be found on Earth: global warming, world hunger/poverty, etc, rather than spending money on research that can wait, like Alien research. or archaeology. Well, unless of course an artifact is quickly eroding or something of that sort.

Not until jetpacks becomes available to everyday households, I'd say no.

No, I agree with everything that has been said.

no, you are dead.
No! Never! We're just starting in the world, we haven't solved issues that need to be solved for human life to last longer. Were already getting extremely overpopulated, eventually, we're either going to have to stop people from getting pregnant, or cast out into space! We need more medicine, more cures, newer, better methods for everything! Although I think we shouldn't devolve into a point for the machines do everything for us, we need a way to keep humanity in it's physical prime, so no one ever gets fat or lazy. Considering America is one of those countries that has the latest technology even though we're in a extremely poor economic state and have fallen from grace, were nowhere near the "best country in the world" anymore, were still the fattest.
