Science v. Technology

What is more important in our world today?  Does the answer to this question in one way (say technology for example) have a detrimental effect on the other (science)? 

I think technology is viewed by a large majority of people as the driving force of the "advanced world" of 2010.  The age of corporate industries has produced new lines of products every few months for people to desire to make the old ones obsolete (e.g. computers, cell phones), and our media (so much of which is dominated by advertisements) create the sensation for chasing these items with more and more fervor as technology presents them new modes and outlets to inundate us with (e.g. Twitter, Facebook/YouTube advertisements). 

Also, I see a link between this “rivalry” between technology and science and the differentiation between anecdotal evidence and scientific evidence we previously read.  I think technology creates a here-and-now, “me-first” impression on people to sway them to think that technology innovation rather than scientific investigation is the more pressing need.  Similarly, those who find anecdotal evidence more appealing than scientific evidence ignore the subjective and unreliable limitations of our personal experience to focus on an individual aspect of understanding rather than the more universal, “big picture” mentality offered by objective, scientific evidence.
