Both really. While technology improves our overall quality of life it makes us more and more dependent on it by causing us to lose the ability to survive without it. We are and always will be dependent on it, I believe that it is the one thing that defines us and the level at which we utilize it is what sets us apart from every other life form on this planet.
well technology makes us advance and helps us to stay alive no doubt there. Technology in itself isn't bad, I never met a car or a machine that wanted to kill me -except microsoft that's evil- It is us who use technology to kill eachother. But what's also funny is that we need wars, or almost wars, to make gigantic technological break-throughs

Hard to say. Astrology was believed all over the world from ancient times, and among the believers there were and are eminent scientists.
It may be noted that in the 14th century a number of universities in Western Europe, among them Paris, Bologna and Florence, had chairs of astrology. Astrology is regaining a large popular following. Astrological literature is flourishing as never before. It is difficult to deny the fact that there are many scientists and investigators who are quietly gathering astrological data and testing them in various fields. And the possibility that astrology may as well undergo a transformation from the traditional view to the modern empirical one cannot be ruled out. There was never a scientific attempt made to substantiate the statement that astrology is an exploded superstition. Before astrology can be condemned, its validity or otherwise should be empirically tested.
In the eyes of positivist scientists this lack of empirical evidence is a proof that the assumptions of astrology are wrong. In my opinion this conclusion is equally short-sighted as the conclusion that God does not exist because nobody succeeded so far to prove his/her existence in a way which is acceptable for the positivist scientific community. God exists as a real force/energy for those people who believe in him. Does it matter, whether he/she has a physical existence, or whether he exists just as a symbol, guiding the lives of the people believing in this symbol.
The complex psychology of astrology, explained by means of the astrological symbol system, for many centuries has been considered as a very useful tool for understanding the development of the personality of human persons. Even if the assumptions of astrology are wrong, the astrological symbol system remains a valuable tool for astrologers to understand the character of persons and the development of their personality.
