One of my favorite things in scifi is when later movies/shows have to try to write around old design chocies.

Personally I think the modern stuff is way, way better.
Sometimes I'm in the mood for one and sometimes the other. The Expanse comes to mind for a modern "hard" scifi that talks about the tech a lot.
One of the best details in the first episode is that a protagonist's phone is cracked to hell. Magical future tech, transparent screen, lightfield camera, voice AI that works... and he still dropped the damn thing and can't afford to replace it.
Me too, to me The Expanse is peak sci-fi in large part due to how realistic it is.
