Most would say this goes back to more primitive. I disagree - I say that environment is simpler, more organic and frees up mind-space.
Technological advances are making us more primitive - anything that discourages or eliminates critical-thinking, for the masses, is the hallmark of primitive.
Closest to Structural Engineering, with limited exposure to the rest - mechanical, electrical, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, etc. - a creator, you as well.
For the throat-punching robots, watch China. Have you seen some of the "dog-robots" they have? They can cover almost any terrain, swim, with head mounted weapons out of the water - insane.
In my mind's eye, I can already see the dystopian, asymmetric battles between men and these machines. I don't think it's too far off unfortunately.
