Picking nits while skipping how we don't have off-world colonies or replicants?

In that case, the comic got things wrong too.

You'll be hard pressed to find people wearing those clothes these days, especially the nurse's headgear. Canes and briefcases are also rare, though I suspect that those rare few wearing a bowler hat might still use them.

Also, few people use a bell as their ringtone.

My understanding is in the blade runner universe the off world colonies aren't somewhere you'd want to live & the replicants are banned on earth. In other words, two things to be avoided.

So we could easily advance past those points without touching them entirely.

I have always used a bell ringtone, I like it because I find it less-invasive then all the other abstract modern ringtones that only give me alarm clock PTSS.

Unfortunately, Samsung removed the classing bell ringtone in their latest models :(

Sure. Mine's a bell too. But it's still uncommon, yes?

Plus, I know a lot of people who only have it on vibrate.

Motorola, too. But you can always add ring tones.
