The topic was the state of the European imports.

If all you can come up with is the horse collar, then I would say it is
safe to say the vast majority of European technology at the time of
colonization of the Americas was a thousand years old or so.

Nope, I switched from technology at the start of colonization to technology
during colonization.

The point being that technology that effected the average person made 
very few advances during the colonial period.

Granted things like the telescope, slide rule, and barometer were invented
in the 17th century, but the average person neither had nor needed
