In The Original Series in the 60s, people had no idea what the future would look like or what technology would look like. In one of the early episodes, they had a paper print out machine on the bridge that looked like a fax machine, which was considered futuristic in the 1960s.

Like the example of the Enterprise fax machine, what technology or system do you think are we displaying in the current Star Trek shows that will show how dated we will become in the future?

    The holodeck as cool as it is falls apart under scrutiny.

    A full dive VR headset uses far less space and would be capable of offering a better experience.

    It’s also more realistic to expect given how unlikely we can make playing inside a microwave safe or possible.

      Ghost In The Shell is not less prone to technological nightmare scenarios than Star Trek… and that’s saying something.
