Is Southeastern Florida really that "modern?"

Supposedly the most modern place in the world?  Maybe, it's a step ahead of what's Up North, only fancier than New Orleans in some ways.

A Mystery

I realize Miami and Fort Lauderdale (just above Miami) are the modern places of the world.  They are in Southeastern Florida

I also lived in Jacksonville and Orlando.  Jacksonville is in Northeastern Florida, and Orlando is in a bit North of and called Central Florida.

So, which is more modern, East Coast Florida like the Northeast too ... or Florida not on the beach though it's further South in Florida like Miami?

Also, East Coast Florida in the middle area seems to be considered different from Northeastern and Southeastern Florida because people who live in Central Florida go there for the beach, so people like me who live maybe less than an hour from Disney World?  Like me, their family is not from Florida, many of them.

To put it plainly... Which is more modern: Northeastern Florida or Orlando, Florida?

Orlando, Florida does not really feel like Disney World to me.  I was unable to go often because of money or being tired on pills.
