TNG era Trek is funny with how right they got some things but how far off they still were.
They got tablets right, but couldn’t concieve that they would have enough memory to hold all your documents or that the ship would have a cloud server. So you get scenes of people with stacks of tablets on their deck to look busy or crew members walking reports physically to the captain and handing over the hardware when you’d just do it via email in the real world now.
I always love the idea in Sci-fi that in technology, they’ve somehow figured out personal digital assistants, but not simple UIs or slim hardware.
Like in Alien where they have all this space technology, but didn’t get past using DOS.
