You know... Medicine and whatnot eliminates wild animals and disease as population control

I'm not that impressed with technology.
The medical field hasn't cured anything since the late 1950s when they cured polio. There hasn't been a single cure since then - only treatments.
Cars still run on reciprocating pistons just like they did 120 years ago. The only difference is cars today are more reliable and can go faster. Their fuel efficiency is also terrible, and hasn't improved at all in 22 years.
High tech gadgets do little more than turn everyone into babbling annoying yackboxes as they drive their car into a telephone pole, or you, while talking on their stupid Nextel.
Computers could be wonderful things, but nobody uses them for anything useful. Email and Microsoft Powerpoint has made slaves of millions of office workers who spend more time screwing around with fluffery than doing what they were trained and educated to do. For example - an engineer can't design and test and put to market the best possible machine when 2/3rds of his time is spent emailing, scheduling meetings, making pretty presentations, and making pie charts.
Sorry - done whining

No. I don't think there is an order to things that could be unbalanced. However, your question reminds me of a quote from the first chapter of my Genetics textbook in college: "Due to modern medicine, our society faces either a genetic or a moral horizon".

Yes, actually I do. How many people today do you think could survive outside of their little comfort zones and hunt/plant their own food, build their own shelter, make fire without matches or a lighter, ect. Maybe I'm biased though because I used to be a boy scout.

Moral or spiritual education is the key to use correctly new inventions, such as technology. Inventions are an intrigued part of human progress.

part of me says that yes it does, we have overpopulation and more resistant diseases etc.
another part of me says that this is the way that it is supposed to happen. i personally do not believe that there is a set path for the way that society is supposed to develop. possibly we are supposed to overpopulate and decline as a species, possibly not, our actions make the path of what is "supposed" to happen. - that's just what i believe

No, it opens up a new world of wonder and imagination that's more prone towards truth.
