When will everything go digital? Is that a good thing?

So most people have definitely seen Terminator (all of them) and although fictional, I sometimes wonder if they are getting at something. I can see technology taking over the world, not neccassarily in the same way but to some extent it might end up hurting us. We have seen so many takes on artificial intelligence, but would that come with artificial emotion and if so that could go very wrong. Why would someone come up with an emotionally and intelligently inhanced piece of machinary? How can we stand to benefit from giving computers emotions? I just wonder how that will work for us, especially with everything becoming digitalized. It's like we have created a standard, soon there will be no need for postal addresses unless it's a delivery of some sort of large object. Will we even need to leave our homes? I can see how that will pose as a problem, the outside world will become obselete and we will become obese because they need to experience the outside world will be unneccesary especially when you can experience it from your couch.
