"Dune" also features characters guessing how much it cost to set up a big wasteful meeting (the Herald of the Change scene) but nobody suggests doing it on Zoom.

Major flaw of that film that it tried to be “sci-fi” without any use of computers.

It's explained in the book! Also, it's good "guy explains movie to his girlfriend" fodder, which i always like.
