My answer is a very qualified but resounding YES. 

First of all, I don't want to see any BSG-finale moronic rejection of life-saving technology or refusal to allow science to advance – but I would adore it we thought hard about whether or not certain advances would better our lives.

I already think that a lot of people's quality of life has been degraded by our (United States, speaking from what I know) dependence/addiction to television and computers, our screwy relationship with food, the loss/absence of a decent food culture, and a stunted interaction with nature and our own bodies. Right now there are already movements working against these trends (the Slow Food Movement, No Child Left Inside) and I would like to see more of them, until our culture has a balance between interacting with technology and interacting with the larger world.
