Is it me of everthing I've seen from this place looks like from the 1950s ?

Trends change due to popular demand. There is no popular demand in North Korea, so nothing advances. Their whole culture is based around the idea that they have a divine origin and the Kim family is ordained to lead them. If everything was "perfect" with the first Kim, Kim Il Sung, in the 1960s, then changing or updating anything would be saying that his style was not perfect. It's an endless loop of "Kim showed us the perfect life in 1960, so we all live in 1960 forever and anyone who wants anything different is a heretic."

When thinking about the level of technology in DPRK, I want people to remember Israel's pager attack on Lebanon. Israel made a whole fake pager company to sell Lebanon pagers which had bombs inside of them.

The US is still an active aggressor towards DPRK. US-ROK-Japan stages active military drills to practice war against DPRK, twice every year, Ulchi Freedom Guardian.

DPRK has to be skeptical towards western technology because the US will hide malice within the technology. If not literal explosives, then likely spyware or other malware.

DPRK has been receiving new technology from new trade agreements with Russia starting 2023-2024.
