As culture and social mores have changed, our ideas about what the future will look like also have changed. This panel would discuss how authors of different eras portrayed the future as they understood it—and all the many ways that their visions seem quaint and funny now (for instance, smoking indoors or at work; reading paper newspapers on a space station; searching for a phone booth, or others).
