This is very much the case. If technology advances without spirituality, we get what we have here on earth. That's not to say we have not evolved or evolved without any spiritual growth. It simply means we have leaned heavily on technology with very little in the way spiritual growth to balance this out.

Technology should assist spirituality and spiritual growth.
