It would kind of fit in with their sort of "futuristic yet not exactly" aesthetic.
Yes thank you ensign for writing that report up on your tablet computer, now because email apparently doesn't exist anymore you'll have to physically leave the tablet with me and go get a new one.
Killing email is a honestly a greater feat than achieving communism. I salute the federation
The monkey paw curls: Email has been lost to the sands of time, but somehow fax is still in regular use
I know that this is a lighthearted place, but why do you think so? E-Mail is one of the most democratic and equity promoting forms of communication there is through its decentralisation and open standardisation. It would be the very kind of thing the Federation would want to preserve or introduce itself.
Nobody likes email. I prefer the modern fediverse.
Email is incredibly insecure. There can be no expectation of veracity or privacy within an email. The core of Email protocols were made when the Internet was a much more secret club.
It's so funny when they go on board a shuttle and have a bag full of datapads with them because somehow it's one book per pad.
When I watched this, I assumed they meant printing on the screens rather than audio.
But I would love to have a bunch of dot matrix printers all around the super futuristic ship printing out immutable action logs
Only if printing technology has changed by then. Otherwise you'd just be getting 100 notifications that your subscription to HP Ink has expired and it can't print until you renew...

Bring this printout for 10% off your first drink
If you think transporter room duty is boring, imagine being the poor ensign assigned to your deck's 2280's era dot-matrix printer in case the captain decides to switch it up. Actually, I think that would have potential to be a pretty good gag on Lower Decks.. The boredom of sitting watching the printer, the suspense of the printer whirring to life... only for it to sloooooooooly print out some inconsequential message
How does one prepare for maximum acceleration on the Enterprise? Put on their seatbelt, no wait LOL
RED ALERT: .... WE'RE OUT OF CYAN!!!!!!!
