[ ] sci-fi tv shows

Last night I couldn't sleep so I began thinking about sci-fi TV shows that I like. I guess it was because I was watching Sea Quest DSV before I went to bed. So i got thinking on what it takes for a TV show to appeal to me. I have to admit that I really care about their toys. Do they have a cool starship? submarine? I also began to think how old TV shows technology compare to real life in 2010...

SeaQuest DSV 1993 - 1996

So the sub was launched in 2014. So we are clearly not even close to have a sub like that. However the inside of the sub is pretty backward. their screens are super low rez, Their virtual reality is quite silly and they still use discs to store their music. They have nothing like an iPhone or iPad working there. Did I mention their monitors are thick??

I guess this establishes a common pattern, their big tech is far away but their small stuff is way behind...
