What's the reason for this? Did aesthetics and technology just completely stop evolving after the 90s?

I read somewhere once that aesthetics follow a trend where futurist becomes hotel mass appeal, which in turn becomes lame and or bland, eventually ending in spooky — which is how you go from “futuristic” in 1989 to “spooky backrooms” in 2025.

But the bridge on voyager was too complicated and never could be practical for mass appeal

I think you're onto something that TOS never became a permanent design language and TNG did

Michael Okuda was a genius, he literally took bits of colored plastic and light bulbs and mocked up the future. It reminds me of the iPad in 2001: a Space Odyssey

>>
>>214979569
Film went through like 6 phases of revolutionary design change from the mid 60s up through the mid 90s. And design language hit a "modern" plateau around 1993ish. It's why jurassic park doesn't feel very dated, despite being closer in time to TOS than it is to us now.

>meanwhile 1960s star trek looks ancient and comical in its design
The 1960s were part of a turning point in the level of technology that people interacted with daily. Even a lot of science fiction novelists (who typically could be said to have farther-reaching vision than television producers) tended to miss the mark, too. People weren't yet familiar with the possibilities afforded to us by video monitors, generalized keyboards and other human-interface devices, all data storage on spools of magnetic tape that needs to be played back in realtime, etc. They only knew the bare minimum of what "technology" represented, like blinking lights, paper readouts, and squeaky radar-like squeals of approaching vessels. A "computer" was a big monolithic machine that crunches charts of numbers into and spits out one single result after a day of thinking, not a responsive device that could immediately abstract and collate from multiple simultaneous streams of information. So in 60s sci fi TV you tend to get just that: blinking lights and single purpose knobs and switches.

The original series had basically no budget, do you wonder why they had so many episodes with people dressed in Roman togas or in WW2 uniforms? It's because the costume department could borrow those from the studio that had them made for other productions.

The show was written around its own total lack of budget.

Not at all. Each of you are much more than the mere chemistry taught to you in earth schoolings. I am revealing to you that the end of your design, your schematic, is being a single largely indecipherable numeral that represents your soul ID. Space faring sentient beings that are engaged in the infinity war, if judged adequate, are placed in command of a cube of existence. Your mission is to spread from there. What 'walking around' will you do, then? What wasteful expenditures within the holodeck can you conceive wasting yourself within, then? None, if you are adequate. The multiverse becomes your holodeck.

The 'personable' command deck is an overstated trope for 1900s era beings. Star Trek is trapped by its own conceptions. Grow up your genre or be replaced. Though it is quite comfy to return to such simplicity.

They were shooting on technicolour. A lot of design language in TV and film is dictated by the technology of the time, and so because they could capture colours with insane vibrance they made sure they got their money's worth, and also TVs of the time were pretty shit. These weren't your early 90s trinitrons these were little bullshit boxes that looked like this, and the bandwidth allocated to broadcast in colour was so small that they boosted the colour up as hard they could because so much information was going to be lost in translation, they even had to drop the broadcasting from 30hz to 29.97hz to fit the colour information in. They didn't even composite video sorted out yet everyone's telly was still RF only. God things used to be so much better.

The difference in technology between the 1960s and the 1980s in terms of what it could do, and how people understood it, is astronomical. People in the '60s still thought light bulbs were hot shit. They didn't have to try nearly so hard to make something look sophisticated and otherworldly

Disagree entirely. TNG era aesthetics look like a dentist office now.

Also, the 60s look is so absent from our culture that it makes all the alien stuff feel actually alien nowadays.

99 years is the span of time between the commissioning of the USS Constellation, the last sail propulsion only US warship and the commissioning of the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear propulsion ship. 60's and 70's sci fi makes a lot more sense when you consider the pace of development they were extrapolating from.

In my opinion TMP had the best production design. I love how that movie looks. Kirk's short sleeved uniform makes him look a little bit like he's working on a cruise ship, but otherwise it's perfect to me.

TNG is worse than gay. Breaking hard with TOS it's a Jewish Communist utopia propaganda about how all the races and sexualities get along with each other while all the humans float through life as emotionless Socialist robots. The universe of TNG is Leftist Jewish Shit where as TOS was a western about future frontiersmen blazing a trail into the wilderness.
>>
>>214990200
>Why did it stop? Is there any technological reason why technology is no longer progressing?

Because there's only two options left for progression.

1. Space colonization of the moon and solar system

2. Advanced computing like creating AI, driverless cars, drones, and humanoid robots.

Most Corporations have chosen option 2.

Option 1 is a lot harder. Elon Musk is the only one seirouslt pursuing it with Space X.

Depends on who you talk to. There are some people who will point to the bureaucratization of science that occurred during the cold war. Basically with unprecedented amounts of government money being shovelled at researchers, non-technical people implemented methods to try and get value for money, such as peer review, that wound up tuning science into a risk averse and consensus based exercise in acquiring funding rather than pursuing knowledge.

Other people blame the Civil Rights Act and equivalent legislation. Their argument is that these had the effect of making it impossible to use IQ tests or other instruments to select workers because low IQ groups would disproportionately fail. This meant that employers needed an alternate selection method, and having a credential from a university became the method. The resulting flood of people into higher education both strengthened administrators versus researchers, as the administrators were needed to manage the influx of students and diluted the talent pool of people who would become researchers. Leading to science being swamped by relatively mediocre people churning out papers as rapidly as they can.

Other people blame the rise of financialization, where control of the economy has shifted from people who owned and built businesses to managers whether public, bureaucratic managers or private managers from the financial sector. The argument is that what is effectively that a parasitic class has figured out how capture ever increasing amounts of the productive capacity of western societies.

The age of consumer technology is coming to an end. Once automation and AI are perfected, we all become redundant. So the next “phase” is to create some sort of AI digital god, which is what big tech is racing to do now. After that it will be mass destabilization and depopulation for the lower classes while the rich and powerful increasingly retreat to gated off areas

This is actually completely fine if you add more detail to it and very subtly and carefully make all the physical buttons and levers look just slightly more sleek and high tech.

Aliens in the 40s and 50s used energy weapons for sure, but Star Trek gave it a name and made it a thing. The TOS Enterprise was the first tv spaceship that didn't look like a flying saucer.

Solving big problems creates solutions for countless small problems. Whereas trying to solve small problems individually just creates more problems. Limiting yourself to only doing what is easy means eventually doing nothing at all.

Are we know longer bound to form follows function anymore?

Technology comes in bursts when something new happens and then eventually it matures and stops growing quickly. Then something else comes along. You can go back earlier in human history and see the same thing. It's like evolution with animals--it's not an unstoppable force that keeps going. An alligator or shark whatever reached peak development millions of years ago and hasn't changed much since. Airplanes and nuclear weapons matured in the 1970s. Then we went on to computers.

Agree that TMP's uniforms were pretty bad and already dated when the movie was released. But the ship felt really big and I'm not talking about the endless exterior shots. The interior felt like a functional research vessel where a large number of people did real work.
For me, the field jackets they wear when going over to Regula are peak design. About fifteen years ago I was at The Bay in Vancouver during the summer and found a coat on a sales rack that looked like those WoK field jackets but in cream white. I still regret not buying it.

There are tons of technologies lying dormant because developing them isn’t economically viable. Economic viability is determined by how long it takes for a return of investment. Materials technology is completely stalled because it’s just cheaper to replace things than make things that last forever.

Nonsense. It was and is a way for governments to pump taxpayer money into developing military tech and tricking midwits like you into believing it’s a good thing. Commercialization of that tech is incidental

i think part of the reason is that 60s star trek has been parodied to death, plus the computer interfaces are pre-GUI, so it doesn't have that direct interface that a touch screen would have like in TNG.

You’re brown. Also only alive because of technologies developed for the space program.

Seems like it could be all three, plus other factors. Not sure why anyone would try to blame it entirely on just one single factor.

Lots of the smartest people end up in adtech or fintech, neither of which advance humanity but do make lots of money.

It never stopped, but it's always focused on war and weapons. We just got lucky with some reseach like microwaves and internet, their tech was always meant for the military.
War drives human innovation, without war people would be happy to farm in peace, it's both our greatest sin and biggest strenght.

>without war people would be happy to farm in peace

The Industrial Revolution happened because it was the first time in history where more work meant more reward. With farming, more work was just wasted effort.

Good one.
