Cultural Consequences of Rapid Technological Uplift

An uneven spread of technologies. They might end up with Lots of infrastructure and not much to use it with. Housing may still look TL4 even though they have TL 10 gagdets.

Socially you may have a literacy problem. the ability to read and write is not terribly widespread in TL4 (its not as atrocious as whats under it though). Fixing this will need to be a major part of your uplift. In the short term, pictographic instructions on items will be incredibly wide spread. Either that or only the literate can use the newest stuff.
