In John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the process of someone being issued the status excommunicado is shown. Throughout multiple scenes we see the High Table "logistics department" using:

  • Switchboard operators
  • Chalkboards to keep track of bounties
  • Typewriters
  • Extremely outdated computers
  • Old fashion intercom systems for records requests

Why do they use such outdated tech?

    And how do they find all these tattooed and pierced young folks that are willing to do shady mafia-level business in 60's style office clothes? – Ian Jun 6 '19 at 7:28

I suspect it's combination of two things

  1. Older tech is harder to track/copy/leak, so helps keep the information away from law enforcement (not that I really recall seeing any in the movies, other than the guy that visited John's house in the first movie)

  2. An aesthetic choice by the director/writer, it gives the world a unique look and style.
