What type of effect do you think computer programs designed for trading had on the markets? Good or bad?

What % of trades are done automatically on a computer now? It seems as if the stock market can’t fall completely because these computer programs keep boosting it back up. Is a market correction even possible in the day and age of computer programmed trading?
