Meaning:

    Literally translated as “black technology,” this term refers to technology that is far more advanced than those of the real world. Often appearing in animation or science fiction, this kind of technology is coined to suit the development of the plotline. Therefore, some of the so-called black technology is totally groundless and similar to magic. However, the term as a new online buzzword can refer to secret technologies not made public by government agencies or new technologies that are groundbreaking and very advanced.

    Example:

    A: 微软的新系统彻底向苹果学习了。
