Why, for example, is Harrison Ford making a call on a pay phone in Blade Runner? In the future, we all know, pay phones will no longer exist. They barely exist now. They were probably starting to go out of fashion way back in 1982, when Blade Runner was made. Surely, in a society teeming with feisty rogue androids and roving municipal spaceships, technology would have evolved beyond the humble land line. I am not saying the people who made Blade Runner could have anticipated texting and email and the iPhone and saying goodbye to the person you have been sleeping with for the past seven years by unfriending them on Facebook. But surely they could have thought of something less clunky than pay phones. Surely. Maybe something like telekinetic Skyping, for instance.
