If I'm understanding the question correctly, here's my response:
The evolution of science and technology, right now, seems only to be an evil. As long as human beings continue to take advantage of the new and better ways to screw other human beings over, which technology provides (think planes flying into buildings, newer and better weapons with which to kill each other, even viruses on the internet), then technology is only evil. However, I'm not so pessimistic. Call me a communist (which a lot of you will), but I think that the evolution of technology necessitates that money become a non-issue.
Take environmental issues, for instance. It's projected that by 2030 at the latest, our supplies of oil will run dry. We're going to need a new source of energy, preferrably renewable. but the technology that could provide us with such a solution is so expensive that no companies are willing to go for it. This means that the adverse effects of gasoline power will continue until it can't anymore, and then a non-renewable resource will take its place at a great cost to the economy, which will (or may, depending on how optimistic you are) probably result in wars over the new, non-renewable resource. If not, then the economies of the various oil-dependent countries will collapse.
I think, however, that if the need for money to produce new and better technology is erased, the eventual uniting of the entire planet could take place, a sort of Star Trek-like environment in which the advancement of the human race could continue.
Idle idealism, however. That's just my take.
