Indeed. A lady at a bar in Portland once inquired what I thought humanity’s most advanced technological achievement was, after a slight pause I said the modern microprocessor. She laughed in my face at the suggestion. But when I pressed her for an answer of her own, she refueled to say, instead would only insist that my answer was ridiculous. Odd lady.

Haha. I suppose it would be: language. Without it, nothing else is possible.

Sure! Another way you might take it is that the pointy stick is the most advanced: it started out before language, and has had considerably more effort put into modernization.
What’s weird is asking the question and just nope-ing out of the resulting conversation.

I suppose when you answered with a "digital technology" they could have realized you weren't the right person for them. Now that I think about it, it's a great filtering conversation for a date.
