Do we live in a day and age where technology rules us, and are our iphones smarter than we think?

I don't know what you guys think about what that billionare guy Elon Musk said about cyborgs and machines, how we have to one day merge with machines because we're so obsolete. He said that we as humans are obsolete or whatever and that a computers brain or ai works at around a trillion bits per second while the human brain operates at about 10 bits per second. Anyways as i'm typing this, what if our iphones have a mind of their own, or they are controlled by something greater beyond our imagination, they have cameras etc to watch/hear everything going on around us. I'm not going crazy just thinking outside the box. I was watching a joe rogan podcast with alex jones and he was talking about how the elites want to become machines and that technology is all controlled by 1 ai or something like a super mind. Its crazy to thibk about but what do you guys think. My iphone alarm was supposed to ring today and it didn't wake me up on time and i feel its doing that to mess with me. Mainly this whole question is about why does the iphone alarm SUCK and turn off by itself after 15 minutes. Thoughts?

We definitely live in a world of technology. If we begin to let that rule us, then we will be counting down our meaningful says on Earth. In many ways computers and machines are better at doing some things versus people. But they are just a tool to help us, not control us.

Your phone is definitely smarter than you are. Obviously you didn't set the alarm properly but it is human nature to blame the equipment and not themselves.
