So everybody in Gensokyo knows what electricity is, and they actually use some modern appliances.

Makes me wonder if the likes of kappas, Moriyas or Yukari use internet in Gensokyo.

The kappas are stupid, they have gizmos taken from the outside world but they work like confused children.

I'd imagine Yukari at least knowing what it is, since she does go out to the outside world.

No they don't. They use techniques from the 19th century, check WaHH and Soku.

Outsiders can actually build a giant robot (see: the now-removed semi-operational Gundam), the kappa have to resort to make a hot air balloon to trick people into worshipping the moriyas, not like they don't already use fear as a method for gathering worshippers.

What I would presumably say is canon:

Hatate's phone was given to her by the Kappa.

Yukari first introduced the phone to the cast in Th11, where according to the dialogue none of them knew exactly what it was. She seems to be most in-tune with the outside world, mentioning the nintendo DS when Rinnosuke plays around with the Game Boy.

Most characters are familiar with electricity and aware of some of the technology in the outside world, but are strangely uninterested and unaware of what they are or how to use them.

Patchouli has quite a few books about modern technology.

Zun said he'd rather not live in Gensokyo because it doesn't have internet. (sorry everyone)

I thought that was Okuu. Where does it say the kappa built it? I only remember Kanko mentioning that they managed it while Okuu supervises it.

That is, until Kanako opted for cold fusion.

>> No.8615036

They have a working fusion plant. That's something we are only experimenting upon.

And they already started working on cold fusion.

I'm pretty sure ZUN was talking about human village.

It's obvious that humans and most youkai don't have internet, but Youkai mountain inhabitants?

Sanae seems to be up to date with outside stuff.

>> No.8615052

>>8615043
I don't really get this whole youkai mountain thing. I mean yeah there are kappa and tengu but I haven't really seen any descriptions claiming it to be a modernized area. Sanae is up to date because she's been living in the outside world until Th10.

>> No.8615056

>>8615036
Don't make things up, they have as much of a nuclear plant as we do.

Also, cold fusion exists in Gensokyo for the sheer fact that it's currently not possible in the outside world, it's the whole faith-based-existence thing. WaHH says that.

>> No.8615059

>In particular, the tengu and kappa on the mountain have developed technology (*14) comparable or greater than the outside world's. As such, there exists no youkai who can invade this mountain.
>14: The tengu's technology includes photography, printing and publication. The kappa work with iron and steel and also are skilled in crafting tools.

While PMiSS shouldn't be taken literally; it isn't too far fetched for the Youkai Mountain to have superior technology, especially when they have magic.

Your assumptions mean nothing. He was asked about ''Gensokyo'', don't try to evade it.

WaHH shows the kappa live and develop their ''technology'' like 19th century japanese with little futuristic gizmos, this does not mean they have _overall_ higher technology than the outside world for all we know they could've gotten the same supplies as Kourin from Yukari.

Okuu knew about nuclear physics, there's no reason the kappas couldn't have done the nuclear reactor before that, it's only natural to think Okuu managed the whole thing while the kappa tweaked it in order for the vapor leaks to fill in the giant balloon above-ground.
