Without a doubt it has to be technology.

While some say this is just too easy and obvious, I think it's not all that obvious. Technology has driven us into worlds that make us question morality. The ethics of various mechanisms of transportation, medical "advancements" DNA, stem cell research, and so on are all technological advancements that have created questions about morality that could never have been dreamed of before these inventions. In my opinion, the two go together.

Morality is a curse for this species.
Morality means judging the actions of another. It also means punishing the person who has done wrong. It then ends up as an escalation until war breaks out.
The US thinks some people did something wrong. They went to war. Some people in the Middle East think the US did something wrong. They went to a different type of a war. Right up to ethnic cleansing and war crimes, the aggressor and the victim are always people who transgressed in some way under someone else's moral code.
This only happened because people had moral codes that others did not follow.
Violence is directly related to morality.

those are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Technology has made the greatest gain while morality has the greatest loss.

Obviously it is technology. Our morality still has a ways to go. Think about like this, there are some people who would sell their soul to invent the next new billion dollar tech device or murder to do the same.

easy question.
technology.
we are the same as we were 10,000 years ago. if you could go back in time with an infant born to a normal healthy family today and exchange it for an infant born 10,000 years ago to a normal healthy family, and let thetwo infants grow up in their respective environments, the child of today would follow his father's trade and be a normal part of his family, village, society. No one would suspect he wasn't his father's child. The child of 10,000 years ago would grow up in today's environment, exposed to today's media, and today's information and today's technology and he would be either average or a valedictorian or a jock or a geek and a boy scout or a juvenile delinquent and you wouldn't be able to tell that he wasn't his father's child.
Nothing has changed, except the accumulated, recorded information and the technology that has come as a result of that accumulated, recorded information.

Let's see. We still have lying, cheating, stealing, war, murder, theft, rape, hate,,, Wait a minute, has morality made any gains? At least I can use Technology to defend myself.

Stupid question
About the only thing we know about stone age morality is that they buried their dead.
