I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'development around electronic current technology' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'foretaste that' is the wordplay.
'foretaste that' anagrams to 'STATE-OF-THE-ART'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for state of the art that I've seen before include "concern of museum conservationist?" , "responsibility of picture restorers" , "Most hi-tech" , "Latest developments" , "Most up-to-date of its type" .)
