Unless of course they're a post singularity civilization that has been interfaced with computers for the last thousand generations. The trivial purposeless entertainment of a civilization like that would be mind bogglingly different than anything we could think of.
In this civilization, knowing about boats and chemical explosives of any kind either makes you a history buff of a crazy survivalist.

You don't need holograms if you've got a computer plugged directly into your head that can make you see shit.
