Why is there so much fucking modern technology in the show now?

>>30664917
My opinion has always been that different towns have different levels of tech. Ponyville is one of your least but you could wind up like 100 years in the future by going to Manehatten. Almost like bubbles.

But anon, that scene is from season 1.

Because the cyberpunk future is inevitable.

Maybe it's a thing from the comics. Well, you see, Starswhirl travel with Celestia between dimensions and the more they travel the more of each of the two dimensions began to become similar. On the other side for example was a drink called "coffee". A few weeks later in his world coffee was invented. I bet it's the magical mirror of twilight who leads to these inventions.

pick one
comics had a fucking TV news station

>>30664947
I didn't said that comic's are canon.
It's just a theory. Maybe comic's are canon but in another Universe? It's just not the universe where the show is present. The logic behind that could still be applied to that. But still. Twilight traveled between two dimensions.

LMAO

It's almost as if people with the original, low fantasy-esque vision from the show are no longer running it. It's easier to make yet another Manehattan episode with asphalt streets, or invent a Los Pegasus with skyscrapers than to try and think "how would this work with 19th century technology?"

>this justifies the near-constant modern setting nowadays
You revisionist faggots are the most insufferable people on this board

Apart from some singular cases, pretty much all of the technology in the show is pretty consistent with the often 1900s, up to 1950s technology the show has shown pretty much from day one, your pic being one of the S1 examples of that, my pic another.

>>30664921
This makes sense. Remember how Napoleon Dynamite looked like it took place during the 70s but actually took place in the present day of when it was filmed? There are actual towns like that in rural America due to them being so isolated and remote.

>implying MLP's technological progression would be anything like our own

>>30664983
Twilight has been obtaining and reverse engineering tech from the Equestria Girls universe, possibly with the help of her bespectacled counterpart on the other side of the portal. She's probably discussing with Celestia the possibility of creating the infrastructure needed for Equestria to have it's own version of the Internet.

Indeed, magic may provide shortcuts to certain technologies beyond our own, especially if they can combine it with technology. Gravity manipulation spells like the one Twilight used in The Crystal Empire Part 2 could be used for making artificial gravity on ships. They could have something like the transporters on Star Trek using a platform or booth that can cast teleportation spells on the occupants to a specific destination. Shield spells could be used as force fields to contain inmates in prisons instead of bars. The possibilities are endless!

Just in case you needed clarification.
