I was betting on "humanity will kill the fuck out of each itself within a century if we keep going the way most SF predicts we will". Admittedly, that's only because that's how the last sci-fi story I read begins.
But it's funny nevertheless.

Every time I pine for the promised flying cars, I just think of all the arseholes I see on the road every day in regular cars. I do NOT want them flying over my house.

Flying cars: We call 'em helicopters.

Needs something about how the warp core will breech at the slightest bump, and holodecks fuck up and almost kill the users every other day, such as randomly disengaging safety protocols and having random holo-characters gain sentience, all the while trapping the user inside because the doors won't open and beaming them out will somehow harm them.

And it will all be worth it because holodecks will exist for sex (even if he or she turns real and kills you) and replicators will exist for infinite cheeseburgers (even if they're only close facsimiles).

Formulated for ideal nutritional value, no less. Which would be awesome, except is it even possible for something to taste like a cheeseburger without being horrifically unhealthy?
I have a theory that the replicators use the matter/energy from all of the "random" transporter accidents as their supply for replicating things like delicious cheeseburgers and tea, Earl Grey, hot.

I had a theory that all replicators just use the sheer awesomeness exuded by Patrick Stewart, but the transporters one could explain it equally well.

Too bad the one time ST decided to actually show the seedier use of holodecks we get Quarks head on Kira's body. That was disturbing.
