Not an entirely plausible argument and it ignored the issue of non-starship computers and communicators which were clearly based on WW2 technology. An alternative would be the 2300 setting, Mongoose have just put out their second edition of that and it's far more based on modeern technology than the main Traveller rules which are inspired by 1950s/60s/70s SF. 2300 looks much more like it's based on modern developments.</blockquote>
