| Say it however you like or in any way you like, it all comes back to the same thing: The military is a complete package moreso now than ever in history. That means that taking away any single element from a large military operation go over about as well as a pregnant pole vaulter.
I can't conceive of a technological advance that would make artillery irrelevant. Bombarding the crap out of your opponent from a distance is never going to become obsolete.
Its not as obvious for urban anti-terrorist work, but considering how accurate they can be on a first shot these days, it still has its uses there. Need to level building X? Artillery can do it very well.
