But it does make sense if you consider that we're living in an endless time loop where first there's no technology at all, then technology becomes more and more advanced over time, then it gets turned from a tool of communication to a tool of mass surveillance, then AI comes in, then the world goes "fuck technology!", and we're back without technology again, only to then crave for a way for John Smith to communicate with Tanaka Yamada, Luigi Spaghetti, and Dmitri Kurvablyat all living in places far away from each other.
