The old-fashioned getting upset about standard technology producing outrage (8)

I believe the answer is:

enormity

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

'outrage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the old-fashioned getting upset about standard technology' is the wordplay.
'the old-fashioned getting' becomes 'ye' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'upset' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'standard' becomes 'norm' (norm is a kind of standard).
'technology' becomes 'it'.
'ye' written backwards gives 'ey'.
'norm'+'it'='normit'
'ey' going around 'normit' is 'ENORMITY'.

'producing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enormity that I've seen before include "Great wickedness or huge size" , "Great wickedness - more tiny (anag)" , "Evil" , "Outrageous deed" , "Outrageous act" .)
