The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency so that they have more leisure time.
The primary goal of technology is to make a certain job more easier to do.
For example, technology in agriculture (such as irrigation, machinery, etc) allows planting to be easier.
Technology in warfare (such as missiles, tanks, and warships) makes it easier to exterminate large amounts of enemy, while trying to lift the burden of fighting from their own people.
hope this helps
