Tamriel isn't totally technologically stagnant, and progression can vary from culture to culture. The Sload, for instance, have their airships, which is more impressive than real life medieval societies. Of course, Tamriel isn't in so much need to technologically advance because, as has frequently already been mentioned, of magic. As Böserup put it 'Necessity is the mother of invention' and the inhabitants of Tamriel can produce results through magical means rather than needing technology, such as for space travel (something relatively extent in human advancement, but achieved by Reman's Mananauts and Altmeri Sunbirds, among others).
