Changing Times, Changing Stories
When I first started writing my “Condor” story the way current technology worked was very different. The communication bracelets that I gave to the crew were amazing, now not so much. Now the things that the bracelets do is very mundane. The main wow factor is the holographic images that they can project. The fact that they could function the same as a Garmin GPS, store data, take pictures, store music and files, record video is not as impressive.
All those things most cell phones can do that nowadays. So, my options with the story are either to have them land far back in time when they time travel or come up with some newer shinier niftier kind of technology for their bracelets.
