Yet again, that is a matter of faith, because technology is dependent on humans who inherently making mistakes, time and time again in our history they have been cataclysmic mistakes. So yes, technology could keep evolving, yet it could just as easily collapse. Technology is not an inevitability as you've described, rather its fragility is based on the reality that as technology evolves, it also exponentially increases the number of dependent variables and hence increases the risk towards failure.
