In my opinion, you are exaggerating a little about the so-called silicon civilization. All life on our planet arose from the interaction of mainly four chemical elements - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, which form the basis of organic chemistry and the basis of life on earth. These are the lightest elements and it is believed that during the formation of the planet Earth, due to rotation, they ended up on the surface and formed the basis of organic life that we have now. On the other hand, the existing life can be characterized as a way of existence of protein bodies.
There is an opinion that life could exist on the basis of amino acids.
What is described here as the transition from a carbon-based human civilization to a silicon-based human civilization actually means a transition from a human civilization to a civilization of artificially intelligent machines. Of course, technological progress cannot be stopped. However, you need to be very careful here, since the artificial intelligence of machines can become hostile to humans and a lot of films and books have been written about this, so far as from the field of science fiction.
Yes, what I want to express here is that the current human civilization is transforming into an artificial intelligence civilization, because the current computer chips are made of silicon. This is also called a silicon-based civilization in some science fiction novels. Let's take a look at the video of Boston's latest robot, which is more and more like human beings. Many people who saw this video sigh on the one hand that the current robots have evolved too much, and on the other hand they will feel scared. Would such a powerful robot take up weapons and aim at humans? Harm human beings? I believe everyone will have such worries. This is the knowledge of ethics and sociology. I believe that the future of artificial intelligence will also be bound by smart contracts, while using digital currency and owning Bitcoin. Whether we like it or not, this era has come. The key lies in how humans will deal with the relationship with artificial intelligence in the future.
