I think it's a result of the faster paced world we live in, not to mention the fact that we have live in color pictures of places that people 100 or so yrs ago might never have been able to visit. I mean for example Jules Verne went into detail about Nemo's submarine for example because it was unknown technology to all but a few dreamers at the time, but now we all know what a submarine looks like from movies like Hunt for Red October and Destination Tokyo so it's not as necessary to go into great detail about such.
