Felguy Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Say Westeros had... Smartphones and things like kitchen appliances magically appear for the richest Lords. (also phone towers to make them work) I mean, you could win wars with these things. Night's watch could send pictures of Wights, (think Cotter Pyke shooting some Wight pictures at Hardhome, no selfies from Grenn and Jon or anything) Could you see Tywin talking strategy over Skype with his commanders? The kitchen appliances... Well inns would have it much easier. Not all, definitely not all technology, that would ruin it. Just some. And no this is not a troll thread, just a far fetched thought.

Triceratops Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Daario posting all da Dany nudes. Hot Pie hosting a cooking show? Stannis attacks Winterfell, pulls out a .45 and headshots Bolton (something along the lines of Altair killing Abbas in AC: Revelations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hot Pie one is genius. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoman32 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hashtags would be useful like if Jon Snow took a selfie with his burned after he killed the wight and went "Just killed a wight... #yolo #winteriscoming" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Cornholio! Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Makes me think of Illium by Dan Simmons. Early on your presented with Greek Gods wielding magic, but later you come to discover they are using advanced technology that the Athenians merely believe is magic.

spoon89 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Things that use electricity in a world without it wont help much, methinks. The thing that hamstring science and innovation (within Westeros at least) is the the tendency to keep knowledge within closed societies (the maesters, the alchemists and to a lesser extent the religions). Imagine the upheaval the movable type printing press would bring, or only a printing press, never mind removable type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Faceless Poster Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You just know cell coverage would be shit in the North, they never get a break. At the very least Winterfell would get a hot tub. The Reach would trade in all their horses for mopeds, the noblest of lords are permitted a Segway. Sweet Robin would bankrupt the Vale buying drones to see them fly. The Baratheons would settle all their disputes with epic rap battles, somehow more bloody than there actual conflicts. Jaime and Cersei would fill Instagram up with selfies while Tyrion has a popular Twitter account and dominates tinder. Dorne would be the porn capital of Westeros(somehow part of Doran's plan to bring down the lannisters). The Iron Islands would have the most popular reality shows and sitcoms. The Riverlands would try to advertise its natural beauty in an effort to convince everyone the riverlands is better not on fire. Viserys would sell dany on Craigslist for an army, but it turns out Drogo was lying about being the lost Khal of a massive khalasar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Blizzardborn Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 But at least the Lords and King would have taken the threat seriously Wouldn't bet on it. That and the shots of Others would meet cries of "That is SO obviously Photoshopped!" All the Bastards could have their own FB group, admin-ed by Tyrion because all dwarves are bastards in their fathers' eyes. Jaime and Cersei's relationship would be exposed via an email hack. LF would be the king of hackers, but aside from gathering secrets, he'd mostly be accessing free space on your hard drive and selling it to other people for file storage. He'd also own massive amounts of stock in all major social media websites. Varys would be running a text-mining program and Twitter-stalking everyone. Illyrio would be running an exclusive dating site for Dothraki khals and exiled royalty. Doran would be secretly working on his computer all the time but whenever anyone comes in the room he switches to his stand-by game of solitaire. Darkstar would be famous after the "theft" of a sex tape starring him and Arianne. Wyman Manderly's fortune would come from microwave dinners and desserts. Try the pie! Walder Frey would have a series of tollbooths throughout his lands. The Starks would have their own weather prediction app. Forecast: winter is coming! Joffrey would be the biggest troll on Twitter.
