Things that date Trek

TOS movies actually didn't do a bad job with diversity. Among Starfleet Captains, two were black (and one of them was female), one was Indian, another Asian, while among the Admirals, another two were black (one of which was the head of Starfleet) and one mentioned had an Asian sounding name (and was also the head of Starfleet). But yeah, TNG to Enterprise Starfleet is largely white American men.
Although, then you had those silly "bending beams" with the TNG phasers, due mostly to the fact the actors didn't know where they were supposed to be aiming.
And for the station, that does work. Unfortunately, the theory falls apart when you notice all the CRT monitors in the runabout cockpit or especially on the bridge of the Defiant. DS9's production people just had a thing for using CRT monitors, clearly.
STID is basically a 9/11 Truther's parable.
Another thing that dates Trek - no seat restraints.
Well they all have to be available to execute different things at any moment in case of a red alert, wouldn’t that slow them down?
Are you saying that "4:3 monitors" are not rectangular? Aren't monitor's with "4:3" proportions a subset of rectangular monitors, a subset with a specific ratio?
Are you saying that 1990s TVs were not rectangular? If not, what shape were 1990s TVs?

How would it? The captains spends a lot of time sitting in her chair

There's an unseen episode where seatbelt technology was set back about a hundred years due to some weird malfunction.
How does this date Trek? Do current sci-fi space shows depict seat restraints?
TMP had a seat restraint system, at least on the captain's chair.
And the chairs on the Excelsior bridge in TSFS had something similar.

A square
What do you call a square with a horizontal line scanning up or down the screen? I would like a name to describe what I saw for much of my childhood in the 70's. I still have an indentation on the side of my index finger from tweaking the vertical hold knob.
