Pony General:"Season 12 will never air" edition.

 Spoiler

Amusingly, I don't think I can think of anything that can refute that idea. We haven't seen a form of a TV yet, so definitely before the 30s. The fact we saw some Steam Punk-esque stuff, probably early 1900s. I now wonder if the community as a whole has thought about this, although I'm very sure they already did.

Upon looking though, I realized that the most modern technology that they seem to have is DJ-P0N3's DJ player, which is somewhere around the 30s-50s according to Wiki. So final date would be somewhere around there. Inb4 computers and TVs start popping up in later episodes.

Now that I think of it, I don't think we have an age that can be compared to ours since their machines are from the IR but they have P0N3's DJ player and somewhat moderm cameras but also they don't have any sort of media since theres not even radio, ugh why they make it so hard to pin point but at the same time I'm ok with it since they have magic and most likely no wars, their tech is bound to be different.
