"So, now you could've been a non-bender with a neighbor that is a bender."

This was always true. There were benders and nonbenders at the North Pole, benders and nonbenders in the Fire Nation, benders and nonbenders in Gaoling, benders and nonbenders in Ba Sing Se, etc. (that last one, a certain group of benders seized control quietly.)

"Admittedly the convienence of benders probably made the rise of technology more possible. But as that dependence waned,"

So, how has the dependence "waned," if the ability of benders are what is driving and powering the technological advancement?

I think you're not seeing that Amon may be a bit of a Luddite. (which may be a bad or a good thing, depending on how you look at it.)
