Side note. It is sort of the unwritten rule in TV and Film. Don't highlight technology unless absolutely necessary. it can age it considerably.

A few weeks back I had '30 Rock' on, it was funny seeing everyone with flip phones, it wasn't highlighted but it just makes you realise the age of it all.

I always just find stuff like that charming. I love seeing relics of the time in which something was made. I love seeing dated pop culture references, it's one of my favorite things about engaging with old media.

Same with monetary amounts.

Movies in 1950s: "For this heist you will receive a fantastical sum of $100,000."

Nowadays: "$100,000 is a mediocre downpayment in the suburbs."

Austin Powers hung a lampshade on that very effectively:

Dr. Evil: Mr. President, after I destroy Washington D.C. I will destroy another major city every hour on the hour. That is, unless, of course, you pay me

[emphasis]

Dr. Evil: one hundred billion dollars.

The President: [bursts with laughter] Dr. Evil, this is 1969! That amount of money doesn't even exist.

[laughing]

The President: That's like saying, [with changed voice]

The President: "I want a kajillion bajillion dollars."
