I don't think technology in and of itself would have any influence on social behaviour any more so than currently. Social change will come from better knowledge and understanding of the current societies, the people living in them, and the world around us. Technology is a result of our increased understanding of science, however it can be a useful tool in helping us understand other societies, and perhaps gain more insight, increasing your own understanding.
