Default Utopia

Lately I've been wondering what the popular idea of a utopian society is. I'm aware that Plato's idea involved an equilibrium once it was achieved, but this conflicts with our idea of constant progression and innovation. How does technological innovation affect the view of Plato's utopia and what is considered a utopia today?

I wasn't aware that there was one. However, if you're familiar with Plato and enjoy him at all, you should get a lot out of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
