Thanks!

I am a bit confused here. Doesn't "have had" also indicate connection to the present? For example if I say "I have had a lot of work this week" It means I had a lot of work and can get more additional work this week. So how can we say We
"might not have had great technology" if we want to talk about the past exclusively?

DibSo how can we say We "might not have had great technology" if we want to talk about the past exclusively?
Because you are using the modal perfect, not the present perfect.

"might not have had great technology" (past)
"might not have great technology" (present)
