This time, it's Sun Microsystems' "Starfire" vision from 1993, with a look ten years into the futue. About the one thing it got "right" is the idea of PowerPoint presentations, but most of it is laughable, and some of it was downright disturbing, like the surveillance of her secretary. Telepresence was a bit overkill, as was the bizarre retro (looked more like something from Space:1999) desk. Sure, we have bigger monitors with LCD flat screens, but Starfire's technology somehow seems "messier" for all of its design sterility.
