When I say evolution I'm referring to biology. Technology hasn't existed long enough to drive biological evolution to any significant extent and it advances so much more rapidly than natural selection that it will change us through other means far before it exerts enough evolutionary pressure to alter us genetically to the same extent. For example, we will be genetically engineering babies long before natural selection catches up to the impact technology has had on us through the process of random mutations and selective pressures.
