And the nutty standards we've developed as a result.
You know those crazy generic hive people that were a staple of 70's sci-fi? Obsessed with cleanliness, all freakishly beautiful, living in some hyper-controlled society? They were a recurring them in books and movies and some TV shows through the late 60's and 70's. That's us now.
Okay, not so much the antiseptic universal white singlesuits and shaved heads. But y'know.
EDIT: the funniest part is that that OTHER sci-fi meme about us abandoning the physical sphere for cerebral, computer-based pursuits was also right. Only our pursuits are still drivel (and sadly feature no telekinesis... yet) and instead of becoming rakishly thin with bulbous heads, we're all just morbidly obese.
I'm getting this mental image of William Shatner laughing at everyone for some reason.
