Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 49 Figure: Scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968. A person on a space station is about to “use the facilities.” Again, unlike many sci-fi movies and, in fact, most movies, the scene depicts actual start-up and close-down moments using a toilet. Here, the instruction list is presented as humorously long and complex, inviting speculation that the user may give up and not use the functions of the facility, or at least will be discomforted and delayed.

Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 50 Figure: Scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968. A speaker leads a discussion in a space-station meeting room. The scene is interesting because of the absence of mobile phones, small desktop computers or laptop computers, etc. The participants appear to be using paper notebooks. Of course, these might be some advanced electronic ink devices that merely mimic previous media. Such occurrences are familiar, as with the first printed books attempting to look like pen-and-ink manuscripts, or the first “horseless-carriages” mimicking the familiar carriages of the time, even having “horse-whip stands” for nonexistent horses.
