There will likely be a point in the future where the abilities of human technology surpass the abilities of humans themselves, making us irrelevant (relatively speaking). We will probably integrate with technology along the way, passing along our good and weeding out our bad, but the end result will be far different and superior to humans. It will be the byproduct of our race, much like we are the byproduct of the first multi-cellular organisms. Throughout evolution, no species has ever permanently dominated the top of the food chain; it always gets replaced by something else. There's little reason to think that won't happen to us too.
