That's a bit too complex for an icon . And of course icon used to mean an religious portrait.

In Amish country they do.
I know that silly. It’s just an odd phrase to use in that era.
Well...
Then there is this:
Funny meme aside, Picard knew exactly what that thing inside Data was, so he's not unfamiliar with phones.
And then there is Dahj on the phone with her "mom"
If you can "call" someone, they can "hang" up on you. I find absolutely nothing wrong with that statement.
Why? As I said, we use all sorts of phrases from the past.
Well...
Do you seriously think that they are using this sign to mean cars and trucks? Or are they specifically talking of horse carriages?
I think you missed the point there.
As long as they take off their hats, i'm sure it would be fine.Yeah, and they've never set foot in a movie theater too.
The weird thing about that is - the Romulan states just the Index is deleted; but once they FOUND a record of a given call - wouldn't it have teh 24th century equivalent of a phone number (or comm code) that could be traced or give more of an indication WHERE the person on the other end of the call is?Picard seemed so shocked that the twin was off world. Does he not know there are other planets?
Well...
Then there is this:
Funny meme aside, Picard knew exactly what that thing inside Data was, so he's not unfamiliar with phones.
...
And we're not unfamiliar with stone knives... That doesn't mean anything.
But that phrase has never been uttered in Trek before. Just felt like something they wouldn’t say.
She found a partial equivalent of x-forwarded-for header. It showed the last proxy was off-world, but it didn't have the originating IP in the record
I'm sure it would, the point is they don't.
Why? Trek's full of phrases and gestures from the past. I think Kirk even used the throat slash gesture once to cut some one off.
You conveniently trimmed Dahj's picture of her talking on the phone
If you can call someone, you can disconnect someone. What would they say in late 24th century when you don't want them to disconnect the conversation.
"Please don't abruptly end my communication to you since you probably don't want to talk to me?"
Watch movies or take off their hats?
When I record sporting events, the coaches still ask me to see the "film" even though everything I record is digital.
^^^More about the Vulcans.
In general, I'm bemused by the tendency to idealize or romanticize the Vulcans. From where I'm sitting, they were never meant to be role models, but one aspect of humanity taken to an extreme. Indeed, the whole point of the Spock-Kirk-McCoy dynamic was that Spock represented logic, McCoy represented emotion, with Kirk trying to strike the right balance between the two.
Furthermore, Spock's whole character arc over the course of his life is about him embracing his human emotions and recognizing that the Vulcan way--pure logic, repression of emotions--is not enough. That's what his big epiphany in TMP is all about, as he turns away from the Vulcan ideal of Kolinahr to eventually grasp that simple feelings, of the sort that are beyond V'Gr's comprehension, can transcend logic.
And lest I be accused of revisionism, let it be noted that TMP was overseen by Roddenberry himself. And that the novelization, also written by Roddenberry, gave McCoy a whole big speech about how much the Vulcans' obsession with logic has cost them and their culture. The Vulcans are basically a cautionary fable about taking logic and emotional repression too far.
Heck, when it comes to "deconstructing Vulcans," McCoy started that way before ENTERPRISE.
TOS started it with TOS S2 - "Amok Time" and continued it with TOS S2 - "Journey To Babel" (Sarek was a kying and dishonest Vulcan even to the one closet to him, his own wife); and there was a bit more in TOS S2 - "MIrror, Mirror" because even though the latter was set in an alternate reality/universe - the wholly logical Mister Spock fit in quite easily and was VERY logically efficient in every action he took as first officer of the I.S.S. Enterprise. (Hell our Kirk effectively told him to kill the Kirk of the MU and take command. Kirk: "Be the Captain of this Enterprise..." -- and our Kirk set up the easy means to do it as all MU Spock had to do was execute Kirk per his orders from Empire Fleet Command and say: "Yes, the 12 hours expired and Kirk did not destroy the Halkins so I 'relieved' him, permanently and carried out my orders...)
