I think that he means a tech that is required to get out of the current age. For example, you don't need Navigation or Free Artistry to leave the Middle Ages, but you do need Magnetism.

I think this is for the scientific civs, which get one free tech advance every time you pass from one age to the next. Therefore, you get a free tech (I think it's monotheism) when you enter the Middle ages, Nationalism when you enter the Industrial age, and Rocketry when you enter the Modern age for free. Again, this only applies to scientific civs.
The techs required to finish an age are the ones on the tech screen (F6) that do NOT have the slash/circle on their upper right.

This came up in another thread (but don't know which). The free techs are monotheism, nationalism and rocketry, but their is a small percentage for getting another tech.

I "Believe" you get the tech that has the lowest research cost. So if other civilizations have some of the first tier techs, that may make them the lowest cost.
