I know that very same feeling as well, it was that overwhelming and I was trying to get used to having a cellphone with me for weeks. It did took me a long while to get used to Avalon’s technology and technomancy since I had spent much of my time in a technology breaking school.

There is a good chance that there are some other people who hail from worlds and time periods where technology isn’t as advance or fascinating; some of the people I have met had never touched a cellphone in their life before coming to Avalon.
