Outdated technology in the OT from today's perspective

The interesting thing is Disney had no problem calling a ride that years later.

As to the OT looking comically-outdated in some areas and very advanced in others, that's probably because technological progress is not a specific set of developments, but a random set, motivated by events. For example, had the Cold War gone on instead of giving way to an era of international trade, it's possible that space technology would keep being developed while communications technology lagged. Also, though they were big and well-armed, the REX robots still ran some of their functions on tapes.

Agree. Man would have been to Mars, Titan and whatever now if governments laid down more money on spaceflight. Yes, some people say it's expensive, but at least better than war.
