In order to understand if there is technology in heaven, one must first consider the nature of heaven.
I believe that there is room for balance between science and spirituality. The reason many scientists were considered heretics was not because of their discoveries, but rather because of their claim that the bible was wrong. Instead the point is that we must examine our interpretation still accepting that the bible is true. Forinstance, with the case of evolution versus the story in Genesis.
Evolution does not dismiss the possibility of intelligent design, it merely provides the basis in which intelligent design takes place in order to create the world we know today.
The bible makes distinctions between humans and animals. One of the distinctions is that humans are the masters of nature. At some point in human history, some hunter/gatherer had to have invented agriculture, and within the mythology of certain religions, that person was named Adam and his companion was Eve. Eve filled an empty place very close to Adam's heart. And together, because of the monumental invention of agriculture, civilizations were able to develop, thus creating the world we know today.
So what we learn from science can only strengthen our understanding of the stories from the bible, and certainly does not dismiss the importance of diety.
Science predicts the existence of multiple dimensions. Imagine a piece of paper. Now imagine a race of 2 dimensional stick people living on the paper. You (living in this three dimensional reality) see one of these stick people, and you say, "hey you!" the stick man looks around, but there's no one near him on the page. He thought he heard something, but he's not sure because most of the sound waves were moving perpendicular to his reality and so they were barely perceptible to his 2 dimensional ears. You get right next to his ear, and say, "Hey, I'm talking to you," he jumps at the sound of someone whispering in his ear. You push on the man against the paper. He feels an odd and unnerving sensation for which he has no ability to understand. You press yourself against the page, and a sort of shadow of yourself appears on the page. This is very much like the relationship which I believe we have with beings from the other realm. Humans exist in a primarily 3 dimensional universe, but scientists predict that there are many other dimensions. Whether or not this is exactly what is going on, it feels a lot like what is going on.
Imagine the relationship between our three dimensional existence and other higher dimensions based this visualization of the relation between our dimension and a two-dimensional reality. Now imagine that those two dimensional people had a part of them extending out into the three dimensional universe that they were mostly unaware of, but it could go anywhere along the two-dimensional surface. Likewise, I believe our spirit-selves have the ability to go anywhere and interact with anyone. When we truly connect with someone, that connection occurs in multiple realms. At least, that's what it feels like to me.
Heaven would have to transcend all of that, so it would have to be at least 7 dimensional, and I see no reason why there shouldn't be 7 dimensional technology.

My guess is that technology is obsolete in heaven.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Heaven has the most advanced technology. Too bad, it doesn't exist.
