Why didn't the apes have technology?

the 2001 version with a younger Mark Wahlberg ended that way. There was a time travel incident where history was altered and there was a modern Earth in the other time line run by intelligent apes.
I read in a movie magazine that the original plan WAS to have the apes be hi tech and the reason it was not done was because that would have been more expensive to film. The primitive ape village was cheaper to show on film. -

Yes, that is correct. -

if you want that, read the book. the cartoon as mentioned is based more on the boulle novel.
personally i don't think that would have worked for the movie. i think the primitive way of living was simply how they CHOSE to live and makes sense, and the irony of what the main character is feeling would have not fit if the apes lived in air conditioned condos.
