Well another argument Geoschmo is that technology has a way of winding back around in a circular pattern by that i mean eventually technology would nullify it's own effect, some say that we may eventually see the return of WWI and WWII style warfare someday in the future, not because the technology has become primitive again but because both sides having that kind of tech may very well result in a return to the old style of fighting.

Technology never has and never will eliminate the need for technology in battle. Individual pieces of tech can nullify each other's effects, but then another technological advance will come along and upsets the balance. It's a cycle, not a cirlce, between technology to kill and technology to protect from being killed. It's been going on since the second guy used an animal hide to block the first guys stick.
