Everything is "evolving". Every single time a new thing is born there could be ways in the future that natural selection makes it easier. But we are halting the progression of already enhanced genetic things by the aforementioned shortcuts in our lives, I believe, though.

I agree and disagree with you here. I mean, yes we could be only slowing down our evolutionary state. Though i honestly do not believe that we will evolve naturally further than we are now as we've become far to 'lazy/comfortable' with the way that life is for us now. Only way this Could happen is with some sort of disaster that would force us too.
As for technology advancements, i'd say that we may evolve in the future that way. With either chips implanted into our brains, enable some sort of telepathic abilities, though they'll be more on the side of mobile phones rather than naturally having the ability to do this.
