The DMV in Zootopia might have been super slow thanks to the staff of sloths, but at least they had touchscreen technology. That's definitely not the case in the land of the dead, where all of the technology is super old school. There's not a cell phone in sight, so apparently the dead don't post family ofrenda pictures on Facebook, or share photos of their offerings on Instagram.
Instead, denizens in the land of the dead rely on walkie-talkies for quick, local communication. Agents at the Department of Family Reunions use typewriters, or in some cases Apple computers from the 1980s and 1990s. The clerk, voiced by Gabriel Iglesias, has piles of papers, a rotary phone, and an adding machine on his desk (as well as a plate of pan dulce which could be a nod to both Mexican culture and Iglesias' love of sweets, which he has riffed on many times in the past).
Also, when Miguel is discovered by the police officer, the officer busts out a flash bulb camera to take his picture, not an iPhone. Speaking of phones, when Miguel implores Hector to help him meet Ernesto de la Cruz, he pulls him into a phone booth for privacy. Kids might not recognize any of these old school devices, but if you ever used an Apple IIGS to play Oregon Trail back in grade school, you can't miss it.
