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?

    I believe SpaceX has at least one rocket control component that’s just a web browser with touch controls. Only a minor part of the whole process, but the guy in charge of the leading rocket R&D company is also the guy in charge of the company that made turning on your wipers something you need a touch screen for.
