They need to do away with the turbolift funhouse idea forever. Otherwise, have the lift award the riders an oversized plush toy when they reach their desired deck.

Well they've got to think of something that can top this:
They can't let Discovery outdo them on the spectacle! Maybe turbolift buggies...

In the episode where Kirk was accused of letting his buddy die it was shown that the video was altered. No deep fake at all. It was totally altered where it was impossible to distinguish from the real video.

Who cares?

I haven't insulted you here. Why are you insulting me? I'm giving my opinion and that's all.
We already have better mobile devices and computers than they had in TOS, for starters.
Just one example: Watch "Court Martial" and tell me the computer's voice listing Kirk's carreer achievements doesn't sound extremely dated.
Then Spock is stupid.
I take the more pragmatic view: that they changed stuff in the real world and we're not supposed to agonise about whether the continuity fits precisely all the time.

Heavy narcotics abuse followed by six weeks at a music festival might lead to some new ideas!
It actually sounded cool. Also the had a had pad on the chair that could tell if a person was lying. How are our computers better? In TOS they had spocks reader that gave him a huge amount of information on what was in space. They could ask ask computers any question. They also had tech that could repair a person instantly if they were mentally ill. Mobile devices that cannot scan for lifeforms or chemicals, or ships, or scan for medical issues and instantaneously tell a doctor what is wrong with us.

Well, Discovery as of Season Three has an excuse: it’s the 32nd century, there may actually be some TARDIS-like space warping going on there, since there’ve been time pods from an earlier period that definitely had it. The 23rd century had no such excuse.
No, Book was in that turbolift car. He doesn't join the show until Season 3.
FTFY
Are you joking? You think the mechanistic, stilted, shrill computer voice sounded cool, when our computers today have speech almost indistinguishable from real people's?
Please don't play obtuse. That they have better tech in one field doesn't change the fact that they have worse ones in others, and you're talking about having better sensors and a better understanding of lie detection, which has nothing to do with computer technology -- you know this.

Bigger-on-the-inside/Tardis dynamics or not it doesn't make sense that is what elevators look like!
Terribly sometimes. I don't see that as a perk when it erased the personality in "Dagger of the Mind."
Exactly. I treat it as a dramatic presentation of events in that time, not literal historic recreation of that time. Just like Rameses probably didn't look like Yul Brunner, much to my disappointment.
They can add new stories to TOS without “rewriting “ it.
