I agree with you, but I'd say the proof is in the pudding. 8 billion people, a third of which live very comfortable lives. Technology has solved a lot more problems than it has created. It is yet to be determined if we have crossed the threshold of diminishing returns, it's possible further progress leads to more problems than it solves, and also one thing to consider is all technology doesn't contribute equally to problems and solutions, so the direction of advancement has a lot to do with it also.
