there's something deeply dystopian about the fact that we can't enjoy stories taking place in current year as the default but constantly seek to get away from it. Everyone hates integration and depictions of social media in stories, and as you pointed out the amount of things you can tell just gets less. I watched the new Tom Hardy gangster show and like half the scenes were just people on the phone or texting shit, which is realistic but fuck me if it didn't make for dull cinema. I dunno what could break this trend really, maybe we just have to progress technology to some isekai VR shit where people make movies about their VR experiences in their medieval worlds or some shit and it's the final frontier of non-interactive stories.
