technology of the roads

A very stupid term used to describe something someone might say who has never seen a common road before. To them, it is very new "technology" even though to most people, roads are taken for granted often, and seen as just a normal part of day-to-day existence.

Person 1: what the hell is that strange thing? And what are those things moving on top of it?
Person 2: That's a road, and those are cars.
Person 1: What is this strange technology of the roads you speak of?
