Sometimes it's good to see resolution outside of the spotlight.
Chapter 613 is relevant to this chapter...
I want to hear more of AJ

Which is what the Fates are worried about. Magic being overtaken by technology.
Everyone has their flaws.
The only thing scarier than ghosts is Twilight's Dad's eyebrows...

They work on students too.

Flaws, and their logical points. Magic seems to be at about a plateau. Only a few people can take it much further without ascending into some greater understanding/state of being, barring those who already are (immortals/gods). Whereas technology, precisely because it can be used by anyone, can be championed and uplifted by anyone. As such, magic, which has progressed as far as most mortals who can wield it can take it, is in great danger of quickly being overtaken and left behind by advancing technology.
Which in a magical world is not a good thing, and saying so is no different than trying to say other worlds should be as ours. If anything, how quickly technology can advance is more of a threat than magic. Ten people who can cast a nuke-spell is less problematic than a thousand people rolling nukes off of assembly lines. A handful of unicorns are easier to manage than giving everyone weapons and the knowledge to make guns and bombs and such.
So, unless I miss my guess, you're going for a symbiotic balance. Where magic and tech support each other in aiding everyone equally, rather than some silly Keeping Up With the Joneses arms race.

Well, the Fates don't want a symbiotic balance... they want total domination.

So are the Fates wanting a complete stagnation of technology because of the equalizing effects of it or because it threatens some sort of vision they have of Equestria? Do the Fates require this hierarchy of power for their plans or are they just plain scared by the shiny new ideas?

The danger of technology.
Look at Doctor Caballeron from the human world. There is a great example of technology unchecked. Inter-dimensional crime.
Ultimately, what the Fates want is control.
Wait, let me rephrase that. The Fates don't want control for themselves. As we've seen, they are content to leave Tradewinds and the Sea of Grass under the rule of others.
They want control and order. They want a stable, harmonious system with good checks and balances. Too much magic is just as bad as too much technology, but the Fates are gambling that magic can be better controlled than technology, even though we've seen the consequences of magic unchecked.
The devil you know vs the devil you don't.
And, as a free spoiler, we are about to see the Fate's proposed plan for a good system of checks and balances. Remember that deal they made with Odin?
6264266 Team Rocket! I'd never have guessed! Your disguises are too great, hiding as typos. Shame on you.
that last chapter cold water surprise
How did i become news paper famous,

I had to reread that bit with Rarity explain where AJ was.

Also right, but not as edible.

Pomme. The Fancy word for Apple.

Oh I know, I'm a chef IRL.
I especially like their term for potato.
Pomme de Terre

Or, as we say in the Netherlands, 'aardappel'.
Earth apple.

He launched a powerful flare.
Aurora means light.
Bad news for shadow creatures and demons.

Correct!
I liked the interview with Night Light and Twilight Velvet
