My favourite part of something that is outdated is in season 2 when McNulty is looking at them through binoculars fiddling with their phone and goes 'what are they doing?'

Cut to him explaining to the team on a white board 'Its something called 'SMS'. You don't have to call people through the phone. You can just send them written messages'.

And everyone looks confused.
