Digitalism is a sign of what you are speaking of.

While digital anything is not an upgrade or a spiritual boost. It is a paradigm shift in ways of thinking and allows for our minds to think in the manner needed to process these new systems you speak of...

I personally believe we live in some sort of emergent reality existence based on retrocausality. there is no past present or future...the universe is essentially like a neural net type structure. There is a now and another now...they both feedback loop each other to create the emergent reality you see before you...

While some people look at digital anything as a step away from the spirit and God, I actually view it as the opposite. While it could become a black hole bottom less void of despair it's all about when you jump off that ride :) and by ride I mean digitalism, I assume digitalism will lead to something grander once it gets anywhere near a despair level.
