Star Trek is worse. They can beam matter around, but hand each other *individual* documents on tablet thingies that pile up on desks smdh
Star Wars is easily the worst of all. They have some cool 3d viz tech, but show no signs of networked behavior at all otherwise.

Star Wars is a medieval soap opera set in space. It's not really science fiction. The force is just woo, like our pseudo science.
