So only new technology is technology? What a daft definition.
- Dalewyn 3y ago>So only new technology is technology? "Technology" in the sense as Hacker News uses it? Yes. Unless you want to argue that Windows 3.11 and Blackberry and 8086 today are tech as in the tech industry.

- zuminator 3y agoYou're validating the opposing argument with those examples. Windows 3.11 and 8086 are no-longer in active development. But the Windows operating system and the Intel x86 chipset are still being developed, and are relevant topics of current conversation. Similarly, "cars" aren't new as a concept. But recent news developments regarding recently developed cars counts as tech relevant to Hacker News.
