Interesting, but I'm not so sure. Remember, the coming attractions show Amon about to take Korra's bending away at the end of a great battle. Korra then closes her eyes. How much do you want to bet that she opens her eyes in the Avatar state? After all, Aang went into the Avatar state a number of times begore he mastered all the elements. I just don't think it is the spirit world punishing technological advancement. According to Rokku, the Avatars have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Think of the advances between medieval times, the Rennaissance, and the 19th century ( which was the model for Aang's world). The spirits did not get upset with these advances.

In fact, the reason your theory is circumspect, although just as reasonable and interseting, is that the best time for the spirits to be upset with the "real" world was when Sozin used the comet's power to wipe out the air nomads and start the hundred years war.

I intend no disrespect but respectfully disagree with your most reasonable thesis.
