[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 9840981, member: 710"] Shouldn't the 24th century already be unrecognizable to us, though? The 31st century bridge is completely differently. It can reconfigure itself completely in all 3d dimensions to the kind of controls that work well for you. The ship has a warp drive, but the drive is detached (and that's not the only detached part). You want to change your clothes and a new haircut? You are instantly transformed, simply going through a small portal (and the truth is probably, that portal is just so that your small human brain isn't completely startled, at least you go in expecting something to happen.) Heck, their "communicators" are teleport, which means the device that [I]dematerializes[/I] you to transport you to some other place (already a mind-boggling concept, what-the-naughty word is dematerializing supposed to be, how does any of that make sense, did some guy just die and I was put in his place? Inventor says no, and has evidence, but how does that even make sense) is also dematerializing itself. And everyone has this on their body... I think they made a good effort of showing how much further advanced tech is compared to both the 24th century and our time. [/QUOTE]
