I’m watching the TNG episode ‘The Mind’s Eye.’ Geordi is taking a solo trip to Risa for a conference, and he gets bored in the shuttlecraft on the way there, so he asks the computer ‘How about a game?’ First the computer doesn’t understand the request, then when he rephrases it, all she has to offer him is a physics trivia quiz.
It’s the twenty-fourth century and Geordi can’t even play Tetris to while away a long flight.
Filed under star trek tng sometimes their vision of the future failed themwere they assuming people wouldn’t want to do DUMB STUFF like play video games any more in the same way they assumed they wouldn’t do DUMB STUFF like watch television? Airy post I’m surprised Geordi doesn’t have some games installed IN his VISOR he could have picture-in-picture and be playing all kinds of stuff and nobody else would know
I’m sure he has something going on when he has to talk to Barclay. You’d think he’d bring a padd with a book or something. Speaking of visions of the future, Individual Padds hold a book each!
