Technological Advancements of a Hive-Mind

I'm imagining an intelligent race of beings with only one major difference from humanity: that they share one mind.

Biologically speaking, they're identical to humanity, and their world is, by all practical means, identical to Earth as well. However, each of these people have access to every memory and thought of every other person of their race. This is essentially the same as this race being a single superorganism that shares a mind.

In practice, there would be no war in this race. No cultural differences, no conflicts, no need for things like "rights", and most importantly: no need for communication technology. Exploration technology and transportation would also become less important. Things like cameras or entertainment also wouldn't be useful.

My question is in asking "What might this race focus on developing technologically, without our human limitations?"
