Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver

Summary

This quote questions why there is a prevailing belief that the future will be characterized by the visuals and aesthetics commonly associated with science fiction, such as space helmets, silver foil, and robotic speech patterns. It suggests that this perspective may stem from a shallow understanding of what the future may hold, drawing comparisons to the exaggerated portrayals seen in shows like Star Trek. The quote calls for a more nuanced and comprehensive view of the future, free from simplistic and potentially misleading representations.
