There’s this gag in one of the Austin Powers movies where in the sixties, they have perfect video calls because in sixties spy shows that was science fiction tech, while in the nineties, the video calls are flaky and laggy and glitchy because in nineties spy shows, it was product placement of real products.
That’s how it feels now, except minus the science fiction part. Thirty years ago we actually did have rock solid tech, now we have flaky and janky tech.
