It is only us fortunate enough to live in a wealthy democratic society with our comfortable lifestyles that are in a position to even consider these matters. Only when it becomes obvious to nearly everyone in the world, and when it literally affects us all, will we see a change. But by then it will most likely be too late, and therefore I think it'll get a lot worse before technology enables us to ultimately improve the situation maybe 100-200 years from now.

The change will have to initially come from those who are most guilty of the mess we're in now....us. The rest of the world will have to be brought along. But if we don't make the first move, you can be rest assured that nothing good will come of our inaction.
Technology is just a tool and won't solve the problems we face. If you don't want to use a tool, you don't. It's who uses that tool that makes the changes...the person behind it.
