I was only saying to Busman the other day that way back in the 50s and early 60s scifi films about the future all painted a rosy picture of technological development making life much easier and better, everything clean and efficient. Then along came a different viewpoint with all the depressing films about environmental contamination and depletion of resources. In those films the future looked bleak but we never believed that was likely to happen. How could it?

Just look at it now. Which version are we closer to?
