Better, we are healthier, more informed (even with the advent of increasingly common misinformation), more socially conscious, more equally pervasive, and happier as a society.

Our education rates have skyrocketed and literacy is higher than ever.

Depends on what standards you judge by, and whether you use it responsibly or not. It's hard to talk about "technology" as a whole, but I would say it has definitely made our lives easier (not necessarily better or worse).
