This game makes the research pretty easy, and I've never been a very good researcher in older civs.
Basically, look in the upper right hand corner of your city map, and find the cities that are making the most amount of beakers, or research. Then build a library, and a university in those cities. Start researching Alphabet, and then Writing, and Literacy. If you get all of these first you'll get science bonuses. I would skip the great library (it never seems to do anything for me) and point towards University and Democracy as research goals.
AFTER you have 100 gold (which will give you a free settler) start trying to purchase those lower level techs off of your rivals. You may have to research Bronze Working to get archer defense, if your rivals start messing with you.
Also, with the technology win, you have to give the rival civs a lot of money and technology to placate them... or play a lot of defense and research weapons alongside science. I'm trying a technology win on Deity, for the third time, I can' seem to get it myself...
