Good point. I assumed they meant the films because the books were not any kind of technogical innovation.

They just said “Trilogy,” so it’s unclear if they meant the movies or books. But video calls were definitely after the moon landing.

The first two-way video call was demonstrated in 1930.

And the first message sent over the internet was in 1969. They’re clearly referring to when it became easily accessible to the masses.
