Whether big or small. We all have that one thing from Scifi we wished were real. I’d love to see a cool underground city with like a SkyDome or a space hotel for instance.

      Is there a specific mention of that, or just something people assume? I googled a single reddit thread, which clearly makes me an expert (/s), and it seemed as though money was really just kind of a fuzzy concept up until they declared they didn’t use money sometime around Star Trek 4.

        I do remember them specifically saying that their economic system was completely changed by Replicator technology, although I don’t remember who said it, or in what context. I don’t even remember which show. I’m pretty sure I heard it correctly, because I remember it being a massive revelation to me. That was the single event that completely shifted all humanity away from a capitalist society.
