I definitely was a bit lost and I bet watching the movie in pieces didn't help at all but the review that camarillobrillo shared, in the second to last paragraph gave me an "Aha!" moment that helped make sense of it all ...is that man will eventually outgrow his machines, or be drawn beyond them by some cosmic awareness. He will then become a child again, but a child of an infinitely more advanced, more ancient race, just as apes once became, to their own dismay, the infant stage of man.
