How much technology was there before the flood? I don't know, but I'll tell you what we do know (considering that Genesis is true):


There were tools made of bronze and iron. (Genesis 4:22)

It was common to live 900 years. (Genesis 5)
(If you believe that people really lived that long, think how much one person could accomplish in a lifetime. If people still lived that long, than Galileo, Newton, Kepler, Einstein, etc. would all still be alive, relatively young, in fact.

Man was wicked. (Genesis 6:5-13)

The ark was made of wood and coated with pitch. (Genesis 6:14)

Not a whole lot there about pre-flood times, but I think that even though people lived a long time, they couldn't have had what we think of as technology: cars, computers, airplanes, telephones, etc. For one thing, it would have been mentioned, and for another, wouldn't Noah and his family have kept the technology (and all memory of it) from being completely lost?
"But if the Witch could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who has committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
