Beautiful questions Nipun..... I think we mistake external activity that does something for genuine growth, while the deeper issues remain unresolved and manifest themselves in newer ways.... Without working on the inner, all outer will continue to evoke responses about the possibility of misuse of new developments, their merits etc. A simple act of kindness coming from the heart can also be an innovation in that it hasn't been done in that way before perhaps. But, there is never a question of its 'misuse' or whether it is great 'technology'..... So my sense is that the inner space from which these innovations are being offered to mankind become important, they manifest in the nature of those innovations..... Moroever, looking at physical 'death' as a problem to be solved is such a limited view of life and living! In that it denies our interconnectedness and the Gaia that will survive irrespective of whether humans turn out to be a successful experiment or not....death has its own beauty, in many ways it is a blessing..... We are the inner work equivalents of many of these technologies i.e. we need to continue our inner work and exploration and come up with the other side of these evolutionary leaps (the inner side) - then the two can move in tandem and dance :)
