If wonder if people living in a stone age culture care how outsiders refer to them?

On the off chance that they do, wouldn't they think "stone age" means "on the cutting edge of technology"?

I live in the Stoned Age and am neither tribal nor primitive, nor do I take offense at the term....oh, wait...Stone Age...nevermind, carry on.

So now what do I call them? Lithic technology enabled?!?

If only I could be as smart and able as your average
stone age hunter/gather.
\ But with broadband, of course.

Cultural anthropology is indeed the dumbest of the sciences. Margaret Mead's "Coming of Age in Samoa" is still considered a foundational text, even though its been shown to be more or less fictional.
Thats like using "A Million Little Pieces" as a basis for Addiction Studies.
