When quantity supplied is more than quantity demanded price falls, upto the point at which some suppliers decide they would rather not sell the product at that low price. If the supply quantity is still more (after the above mentioned supplies have been taken out of the market) than quantity demanded, then price continues to fall upto the level where he next supplier takes supplies out of the market. Also to be noted is that, when price falls, demand increases. This continues to happen until, the quantity supplied equals demand. This method generally works for most commodities, because the suppliers could store the commodity for future use. Also the general assumption is at a price of $ 0, the demand is infinite. But depending of the commodity there could be other effects, especially price floors due to substitute uses for the commodity etc.
Quantity supplied will exceed quantity demanded, so the price will drop.
An increase in technology will cause a shift in supply curve due to lowered production costs. This increased supply will put downward pressure on prices, driving up quantity demanded.
Graphically, the Y axis is price and the X axis is quantity. The demand curve slopes downward, while the supply curve slopes upward. When quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied the market is out of equilibrium. As a result, the price of goods increases, thereby decreasing the quantity demanded. This is characterized as a move up along the demand curve and not a shift. Changes in endogenous variables, ie price and quantity, are just movements along the curve.
it falls
If Qd is higher than Qs, there is a shortage of the good because the price is too low. This happens many times when the government institutes a price ceiling (maximum) that is below the market equilibrium.

everyone gets what they want...?
When there is a shortage of goods, it means that the quantity demanded for the good is higher than the quantity supplied for the good, thus, the supply and demand are not in equilibrium. Because the good is in such great demand, sellers can usually increase the price of the good without losing business. The price will rise, but as price rises, because of the increase in price, the quantity demanded by consumers will fall, the quantity supplied will rise, and, of course, because the market is always striving to be in equilibrium, it naturally moves back toward the equilibrium point between supply and demand.

it means that price is elastic. Price elastic means that a little change in the price will cause a substantial change in the quantity demanded.
The price goes down, and the quantity supplied goes up
Decrease in quantity demanded usually results from an increase in price and vice versa. When the price of a product increases, the demand curve itself is not affected. However, the quantity demanded decreases to a higher point along the demand curve.
