Our biggest technology that we ever, ever invented was articulated language with built-out grammar. It is that that allows us to imagine things far in the future and things way back in the past.
Every aspect of human technology has a dark side, including the bow and arrow.
I think every age lives in a blend of technology so there's always older ones mixed in with newer ones, and when the new technology goes down, the immediate fallback position is either that technology just before that or one several technologies back.
I define science fiction as fiction in which things happen that are not possible today - that depend, for instance, on advanced space travel, time travel, the discovery of green monsters on other planets or galaxies, or that contain various technologies we have not yet developed.
People use technology only to mean digital technology. Technology is actually everything we make.
Science is not something that exists apart from human beings. It's one of the things we do as human beings, and we always have done science and technology in some form.
