Emotions themselves don't change that easily; we would have to become a completely different species. Even with drugs, like antideppresants, you don't really change emotions, in the sense that those emotions can still be called such (after the negative ones are suppressed, or that's the idea).

Also, there's the fact that emotions are not a tangible, measurable entity; for what we know, every person probably feels them slightly different (and in fact, since brain scans of people going through several emotions tend to differ, it's probably true).
So, the experience of emotions, no, it won't change, unless either a couple hundred thousand years pass or actual, engineered DNA modifications start happening.

What can, will, and has changed is ourKNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of emotions (brain scans, endocrine system...), as well as all other aspects of the human brain and body.

Though, I think you were referring more to technologies like smartphones, or maybe virtual reality. No, those won't change your emotions, nor your experience and understanding of them; at most, virtual reality could trick you into a particular emotion, but probably in a way similar to a good movie or video game.
Smartphones might have changed our social interactions though, and technology has proved addictive for more than one person; then again, the emotions are still the same, and addiction is actually a flaw in the way our brain works (and thus, it could happen to anyone, even though some are more prone to addictions than others).

Of course, I'm assuming you mean experience in the "how we feel our emotions" sense, which I thought is the correct one. From this meaning, I'll resume:
-Experience WON'T change, unless medical technology made several big jumps (and even then, you have to account for politics).
-Knowledge and understanding WILL and HASchanged.
-Non-medical technology WON'T change the experience of our emotions.
