Well, I'll admit... my time period is several centuries after yours, but there are some things here that even I'm somewhat baffled by. Things like electricity are commonplace where I'm from, but the ability to contain creatures of varying size in a ball that's invariably smaller than them and store them in a computer... that's extremely far beyond my world's technological level.

That isn't even getting into the cultural aspects, which are also extremely different from my own world's cultural norms... even in my time, parents wouldn't dream of sending ten year olds into the monster-filled wilderness with only tamed monsters to protect them.
