The original technology, still beating every upgrade we've thrown at it.
means The act of expressing thoughts aloud through spoken words.
from From the verb "talk," recorded in Middle English as "talken," likely a frequentative form built on the same Germanic root that gives us "tale" and "tell" — words tangled up with the act of recounting and counting. The "-ing" is the old English suffix that turns a verb into its ongoing act, so "talking" is literally the continuous business of telling.
