Description

Another very legitimate question raised by the Equestria of G5. Whereas the human world in Equestria Girls was clearly set in the 2010s and thus everybody had smartphones and the like, the technology in G4 Equestria was relativity primitive. Aside from the occasional video game cabinet and modern kitchen utensils, much of the tech they had looked akin to that of the middle ages.
G5 Equestria seems to have caught up to Equestria Girls levels of tech. But considering G5 is presumably set centuries after the events of G4, it begs the question how far technology has progressed back in the human world?

I do feel like time moves differently or something but that only really comes into play if the comics are canon. Plus then there’s the whole sirens being centuries old and such but staying as the same teen girl forms forever

What’s that phrase from that character from that show that Reddit really likes again? “Don’t think about it.”

Humanity have smartphones, but you don’t see us having satellite cities in the gravitational orbits of Jupiter or Saturn. Or flying cars and hoverboards for that matter.
The point I was trying to make is that if technology-wise it has taken centuries for Equestria to catch up with the human world as we last saw it in Equestria Girls, the technology of the human world must be exponentially advanced now.

Or Equestrian technology is hyper-advanced to the point that the “medieval” look of everything is for cultural reasons and Twilight only had trouble using computers in the Equestria Girls universe because the computers are too primitive for her to figure out.
Asymmetric technological development is very fun for tabletop DMing.

Yeah, I was thinking of that possibility. What if they got a huge boost in technology BECAUSE of Equestria girls. I wouldn’t put it past either Twi/Sci-Twi, Sunset, or Glimglam, to go back and forth to take notes and do research. I could see some of the technology making its way to Equestria.
