Technology amplifies rifts between haves and the domimant majority of everyone else. Eventually these divides will lead to the long, ugly, and painful collapse of civilization until populations of have nots are low enough not to threaten the wealthy who will continue fighting amongst themselves for any remaining scraps of money or security as natural resource shortages increase. Overall, the only way I see out of this planet's current dilemma is a change in values which probably won't come easy since many people, myself imcluded, are usually pretty stubborn anyways.
