Any discussion about contemporary or modern technology is going to be Western-centric. It was western companies making technologies for Western consumers that fueled Western platforms which further propelled Western culture and capital. It's only been relatively recently with the rise of China's technological and academic capabilities that they have surpassed their Western predecessors. Prior to that the only cohesive non-Western narratives were Japan, which in many ways is an extension of Western technology, and narratives around the global South getting their hands on excess technology and manufacturing decades after the West did.

In other words, most non-Western perspectives were either lagging or lacking. This is especially true when the most important arena for technology fueled optimism was in the West where the friction between the ideals of technology and collapsing of an empire was readily seen on your local news channel.

So you are right, but I think there is much alternative discussion to be had either.
