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?

      Weirdly, that was never used until the “everything must seem weird futuristic and rather crap instead of places where we would actually live and work” aesthetic of the post 2000 star trek.
