Then I don't see what the fuss is about. Magic is still magic regardless of whether you need technology to use it or not.

No fuss at all. I think Mr. Clarke was talking about the perception of the people in the world. Like in star trek when they beam down to a planet that doesn't know about transporters... they simply think it's magic. Or the Aztecs mistaking Cortez for a god. It was meant to inspire more than conflagerate-my bad lol.
