"Yes, from what I've heard about computers, they are like advanced human minds. Memory banks is one way of putting it." Only much better memory banks than human memory, but Istredd's getting accustomed to hearing stories about technology. He doesn't have any of it in his domain although people sometimes do mix and match once they learn more, but it simply isn't his vibe. If he was born in another time he probably would be the person who loved all the technology.

"Magic can be enormously helpful, but I'm a magic teacher, so obviously I'm biased." Istredd wasn't one until he came here. His future was probably always to become one after a few centuries, many mages did inevitably, and he was fine with that in the future. The future became his present in that way. He's found great enjoyment in it though.

Istredd smiles and shakes his head. "This world? Is more advanced in many ways than ours." So they're not even at a farther point than what James sees around them every day. They're medieval-esque. "I like it but it does require flying blind with the majority of you in a different setting."
