Also, programming and the internet is just literally magic (down to the “if you learn someone’s true name you gain power over them”), and if you’re not inspired by it you probably wouldn’t be inspired by “regular magic” if it were real.
Huh. I don’t think that’s been true of any fantasy series I’ve read – magic usually has lots of limitations in the stories I’ve read, and often is less or comparably powerful to modern technology AFAICT.
In most fictional worlds magic can do literally anything. But technology has limits even in sci fi. So if you seriously choose tech over magic than you’re delusional.

No. Technology is nothing like Magic. Magic can do basically anything but Technology has limits no matter how advanced.
