The extent to which  advanced technology has helped human kind?

The field of Medicine.

Realistically? The search for knowledge has led to, or had a significant contribution to, the development of microwaves, radar, radio, superconductivity, computers, refridgeration, digital cameras, the internet and much more. When the theories that underpin most of these inventions were first discovered and tested, many people asked the same question - how does this help me? And then 20 years later some clever engineer invents a little box that heats up food. So give it time - almost every invention know to man once started as someone saying "I wonder how this works?"

There is no two words about it:\nThe technology has helped us, but the only thing is everything has pros and cons. Without technology/scientific knowlege we wouldn't be answering these questions on internet. Technology/scientific knowledge made us realize that stars are not haning lanterns (as mentioned in some folk stories). Technology/scientific knowledge made us realize that the world is not flat and it is not a huge flat surface shouldered by 4 large elephants on a huge turtle that floats on the sea (this is a true mythical idea long time back). \nBut there are bad sides to it too. Golbal warming / wars / pollution and there are many too. It depends on the way people use it. \nBut the next generations will be more brainier than us. They shall tackle these issues too. It is our duty make the next generation brainier, to put them in the right track. \nDon't worry about technology, it is always for good.

Yes it is. Interestingly enough, it is ALSO an effect of progress. technological progress.

well technology  didnt just happen over 100 years. We had a lil help. We went from having hardly crap and now computers,cell phones, and that damn tv. making people lazier then hell. right now there working on developing a chip that they plant into ur brain thats somthing like the internet. Where u can chat wit other people just by thinkin about it and even listening to music (also makes it easier for the government to keep track of everybody). thats going to make people fatter then hell. Everybody will just stay at home and do nothing all day long. And a benefit of all this technology is that we hardly have to lift a finger anymore.

I think first on the list would be communication.  Computing technology allows for massively improved communication.  It is easier (look how easy it it was for you to contact me).  It is quicker (imagine how many months it would have taken you to get answers to your questions if you'd had to use snail mail).  And the content is much richer (you can send anything at all to me except touch, taste and smell---and they're working on them!)\n\nSecond on the list would probably be information.  Communication and information are very much associatated, but let's look specifically at the content of what you can send and receive.  You can send me anything at all that fits in the audio or visual range.\n\nAnd then there's the fact that the use of computers makes our lives easier.  They are execellent at doing complex calculations for us.  They allow us to simulate things rather than actually doing them (that, I understand, is how the USA continues to develop its nuclear weapons: through simulation... but you might want to check that fact).\n\nFor more information you might like to make your way through the links on this page\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing\n\nGood luck

AI can enable miracles of the future. We will be able to talk and converse with computers. Robots will help elders and maybe even play some games with them. They will have emotions like love, and sense of touch.\n\nSuper fast processors are needed for even trivial "human like" qualities. It is extremely complex to mimic the human brain and efforts like genetic algorithms, neural networks and fuzzy logic will help in getting us close.\n\nEven online robots that make suggestions to us for movies we should go and clothes we should wear depending on our location. Cell phones that decide which call to take @ what time depending on our relationship with people which may in turn be decided by people we chat/email.\n\nIt can get really complex really fast! AI is an active area of research and there are very few problems that have been solved 100%

No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.
