Technological advancement versus "magic"

I think that some time in the future it will be time to transition from the era of technological advancement, to the era of creativity. Perhaps we will stop advancing technologically, and start using our minds more. Or perhaps maybe the future won't be about technology, but instead about "magic". I think that the future, maybe soon, will start to seem magic to many of us, because of advancements in quantum physics. What may seem literally impossible right now, might well become possible, at least on the smallest of known scales, the subatomic scale. I'd like to think that the things that I've read about quantum mechanics are possible on macroscopic scales...who knows? Hundreds of years ago, many people would have thought that today's modern world is literally magic. Many years ago, people didn't even know that it would one day be possible to traverse the space between the Earth and planets, yet here we are sending rockets to Mars. Perhaps it was true one day that people didn't even know about anything that exists outside their own local region, let alone what exists outside of Earth! So in a logical way, I think that we could come to the conclusion that it's also very likely that we have yet to find out about places that may be even within our reach! Could we be taking a trek into a parallel reality sometime in the future?! Or perhaps, if we don't want to accomplish such a feat yet, we could at least explore what's deep within us...the meaning, or meanings, that we perhaps fail to notice because we don't think about reality enough. As someone who is fascinated in life, I think that I've had ample time to dwell in such prospects. What prospects? you might ask yourself. Because if there's anything important I've learned from life, it's that deep thought alone can take you to places that normal people probably have never reached. What's interesting though, is what might happen once you combine deep thought and quantum mechanics together; it's as though you enter a new dimension of imagination...
