A happy utopia is a society where life just works, no fear, no stress, and everyone feels in a purely contents. In this situation, everyone feels just happy and no one has the mind of beefing one another. A life where there is less stress and no need of working too hard. One would work a little and rest but with just little technology. To be soncere, growth and technology are mostly influenced by problems and majorly conflict. In an utopia world, it wouldn't happen since the world would lack the major conflict. In this kind of world, people would eat, bath, and sleep.

We're in a world where there is greed, conflict, and a feeling of lack. So, there would be a need for development. No need to live a life or take a resemblance of the utopian happiness.
So, the reason why technology grew so fast in this present world is that the world is full of pain. In this regard, we need to communicate to our loved ones and to people around the globe. Communication during those days was very tough. The means of sending messages were not the easiest. Communicated messages do get to the receiver in a couple of days, if not months. In this present era, communication is just at a glance. Everyone can communicate without stress.
There are also means of surfing the Internet faster than ever. One can get the present news at one's convenience. There is always a need to move faster instead of being sluggish in movement. War is not the talk of the day. Conflict is now rampant all over our society. The production of weapons is now the talk of the day just to hurt one another and also for security's sake. Utopia, happy days, does not need security just because there was no beefing among them.
In another way, scarcity is now the problem of the days of the old, which brought about development, making a breakout of agricultural machines. With this means, food was and is now not enough but still scarce. Scarcity has put things in a tight corner. Everything is just moving at its peak and without doubt.
Such a world is a sluggish technology movement. A world where everyone has no worries, no problems with each other, except just to go to the farm, bath and sleep. The world wouldn't be the way it is today. Problems, fights, and every other malicious thing can bring about growth. Growth can never come from a peaceful world, but can only take place in a world filled with unwanted people.
A perfect content world would probably be peaceful, with kind-minded people, but would be so simple in terms of technology. Everything would remain almost stagnant and more like village life.
The world of today is filled with different kinds of people who are ready to build something special. People who have the best minds to create are always there, causing conflict just to make the world expand to its peak. Expansion comes from an imbalanced world.
