No cars, no planes, no radio, no tv, no cell phones, no computers.
I'd think the technology would be completely unrecognizable, and I'd think the Discovery crew would look like savages compared to the people of the future. Instead, the future people never even figured out to build a spore drive.  |
Yes it should have been something like a 200 year jump. 800 years was an absurd amount of time (and it made their dismay early in the season about how the Federation had declined even more ridiculous; they were very lucky it still existed in any way whatsoever).
