What’s jarring about this clip is not how they got the tech wrong: “Most food will be stored frozen in individual portions. […] The various portions are fed automatically into the microwave oven for a few seconds of deep thawing or warming.” Sounds about right.

No, what irks me is the extrapolation of a Mad Men like culture of female servitude to men doing absolutely nothing. I guess that’s where future visions go wrong mostly. Tech almost seems more predictable than the culture surrounding it.
