I always wonder how stupid this is going to look in 30 year when all technology has moved on

[(Anonymous)]

*shrug* It happens to media all the time, though? Take a look at TV/movies made 30 years ago. Some of them look terrible, but some stand the test of time for whatever reason. I wouldn't think BBC Sherlock is any more vulnerable to that than any other adaptation.

He has 4 laptops and uses his smart phone a lot in all sorts of different ways. And John has blog instead of a book. This can't all not look stupid in 30 years.

I'm not suggesting it wouldn't, I'm merely pointing out this this hurdle is a very common one. If you look at TV or movies made thirty years ago, they will also lack the technology that you find commonplace today, or it'll be amusingly out of date. But since the canon is set in Victorian times and people accept that traveling by horse-drawn carriages were a Thing, then I imagine they're also intelligent enough to realize that a show set in the 2010-ish era will also have the technology of that time period.

Yeah but still hilarious an baffling.

I just watched a detective with porn cinemas in them. I mean I did know that pre internet and pre vcr people must have watched porn. But it was still funny to me.

[(Anonymous)]

in other words you're 15 and you're feeling awfully smart about watching your first pre-90s movie?

[(Anonymous)]

How the fuck is it "baffling?" How are you so stupid that you're confused by people in decades prior not having the same tech that exists today?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - I'd chalk that up to a poor choice of words. My guess is anon is young and/or isn't quite used to seeing media from 20+ years ago with a conspicuous technology difference, or they'd realize it's not really that big of a deal.

i can't wait until people research their ancestors via old internet accounts

haha imagine your grandchildren finding all the fic you wrote at 14

[(Anonymous)]

What a beautiful thought. "Oh my, look what I found on an ancient fanfic archive! It's grandma's collection of bandom slash..."

[(Anonymous)]

this is why i strenuously maintain a gap between physical and online personas tbh

I don't think it'll look stupid... I don't watch 90s sitcoms and think them using landlines, pagers and massive cell phones is stupid. Sometimes it's a little funny, but it's not stupid.

Literally ever show that's on at the moment that's set in the present day is going to fall victim to this, to a lesser or greater extent- why is Sherlock going to stand out on this? It's hardly a realistic show that's meant to portray typical 21st century life anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it uses more technology then the big bang theory and that is supposed to be about nerds

[(Anonymous)]

da

...so? Why does it matter?
