Note: This article contains spoilers for all six episodes of Avatar: Seven Havens.

We're now six episodes into Avatar: Seven Havens and many big questions still remain a mystery. What actually caused the cataclysm? Who are the Faceless? Why are there twin Avatars?

This latest batch of episodes did, however, finally give some hints about what could have happened to modern technology. As you may remember from The Legend of Korra, Republic City was at the heart of an industrial revolution that produced cars, mechs, and even broadcast radio. So what exactly happened in the 225 years since Korra's time to destroy all that?

Before we get into theories about what could have happened, let's dig into what technology we've actually seen in the show so far.

The first few episodes of Seven Havens are completely devoid of any sort of technology, but we get our first glimpse of something in Episode 5 when Pavi and Nisha are digging through relics in Karthik's office. They discover an old radio that appears to still be working and receiving a transmission, presumably from members of the Order of the White Lotus in other Havens. When Chancellor Kayoko finds the radio and accuses Kathik of contacting the other havens, he writes it off as a "broken relic from the old world."

Then later at the end of Episode 6, we get a look at Chancellor Kayoko calling on the other Havens for help via a much more elaborate radio setup. While Karthik is using what appears to be a relic to covertly communicate, it's clear that the Havens have still retained basic broadcast systems to stay in touch.
