Bat an eye, seeing new forms of technology put away (9)
I believe the answer is:
nictitate
'bat an eye' is the definition.
(to nictitate is to blink)
'new forms of technology put away' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'forms of' becomes 'ict' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'technology' becomes 'it'.
'put away' becomes 'ate' (I've seen this in other clues).
'n'+'ict'+'it'+'ate'='NICTITATE'
'seeing' is the link.
(Another definition for nictitate that I've seen is " Blink".)
