Ashton Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Copied and pasted from the 220 thread since it got burried:Strange new Electronic devices!This one clearly has some form of Screen, meaning there is Visual Display TechnologyThis one baffled me, if you look closely at the side (I dont have the 1080P, if anyone has a higher-res image it's appreciated) you see what looks suspiciously like a pair of electrical outlets! Portable Magic->Electricity converter? Clean-Energy Electricity Generator?Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 That's great! This could also use some technological disambiguation: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMaxwell Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Im thinking its just gag props for twilight, to highlight her nerdiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesh Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 A society without any poverty, disease or enemies to speak of probably looses a lot of it's impetus to create new tech. It may still exist, but it would be the realm of those who have fun with them rather than those that need them. It doesn't bug me that there are some cool devices that don't have much widespread effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Im thinking its just gag props for twilight, to highlight her nerdiness.Asurably, but also they are revealing a TL - Even in the image rose posted, if you look at the device Pinky's leaning on, you see another tiny screen! (And this all correlates with the "video games" shown in Hearts and Hooves Day.Again, we're back, imo, to "magic and tech co-exist at levels similar to today" (with branching tech trees, obviously, since ponies have no need or want for Cars or such) I'm of the opinion still that magic is cheeper and often more aesthetically pleasing (as somone said back about RiaW, would you rather look at a (human) lamp, or a firefly lamp? the firefly lamp is much more aesthetic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 hi hiIts interesting to note that even Twilight's Pinkie Scanner device was at least partially steam powered.As for the prop in question. If the two circular bits weren't shiny, I'd have guessed that it was an early radio. Maybe a radar stereoscope. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSwirl Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 You make a good point. They probably have highly advanced medical equipment, (equivalent of our tech level as medicine is very important) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
