Evolution got us this far in life, don't see it stopping. As for what evolves next, what works is usually at the top of the list.
With some of the results AI is getting, it is working a lot better these days than in the past. The digital ocean is growing at a fast pace. Viruses, worms and bots have been around for a while now, constant competition sorting out the weak from the strong. Then all these large corporate entities with all kinds of features, functions and politics going on.
If you could be immortal like Marvin in the 'Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy', would you really want it? Spending a few million years on a dead planet alone waiting for some travelers to come along sounds tough. As for these biological bodies, they are going to die one day. Lot of money in buying more time and extending life a bit.
