We are on the edge of such a new evolution, with genetic manipulation. In maybe a hundred years we can not only program computers, but also new lifeforms, making them more intelligent, faster grow, stronger, better. Those new genetic generations will on their turn create even more intelligent and better lifeforms, and so on. No doubt computers will be mixed with nature, implants will be used for example making the eye see more colors of the spectrum; infrared vision and be able to zoom your vision by only thinking about it (that would be awesome ).

It can go in different directions by then, either we are becomming more conscious about our universe and such, and be friendly and all, or we turn into machines, making us more like the borg from star trek , slowly, without notice.
