They had an issue with tech that was evolving around them. PADD's everywhere. Then, supposedly, Roddenberry didn't know what a computer virus was when "Contagion" was pitched.
'Star Trek: Discovery' will be the worst series.

If a writer were to imagine 3000 AD - most likely implantable/wearable tech would be prominent, but who knows how silly that will look in 20 years when something far better is discovered?
Basically yes, considering the progress even from 2100s to 2300s, in year 3000 the Star Trek technology would be on the level of clarktech: for the XXI-century humans they would be indistinguishable from magic.
And I doubt that the setting with "captan N waved his hand and his personal interdimensional transporter immediatedly transported him to Q continuum, where he planned to have a cup of tea with Q, before returning to his transcendental sentient "Singularity"-class universeship "Enterprise", which just undergone a short test run to the Mirror Universe Andromeda Galaxy, year 7 billion BC in a fraction of second" - would not look wery good on screen.

It's a little known fact that the design for the first transcendental drive was stolen by the Chinese from a Russian archive in Leningrad.
And keep in mind Fuller due to his personal proclivities is going to be biased in terms of wanting to include alternate lifestyles. If they chose another former ST writer that person may not be so inclined.
They lied! We, russians, allowed them to took the blueprints out of our well-known generosity!)

My mistake - i mean "i doubt it WOULD look very good on screen". Sorry for misrepresentation.
I seem to be having a glitch. I have been trying to post a link for www.orbitalvector.
The author posted a scheme for tech levels, as applied to science fiction.
The typical space opera civilizations rate fairly high on this scale. At the low end, nuBSG, and Earth at the beginning of Babylon 5. Star Trek (think 24th century) rates at the top. There may be impressive technology, in some ways far beyond today. But the human condition still applies-characters can still be related to. Characters can still have problems that you can relate too. There is still the potential for drama that the audience can relate too.
However, if the technology becomes indistinguishable from magic.....
If there is a singularity....

Is a "set production assistant" qualified to EP a show in a high profile franchise like Trek? I don't know, educate me.
Is a silver-spoon failed businessman and someone who gets away with breaching national security qualified to be Commander-in-Chief? :P
Moving furniture about gives you invaluable insight into how to run a multi - billion dollar franchise.
And a great deal more were done by well qualified professionals.
That's not even my IMDB. xD. This is me.

No. I don't have experience in this, but I am a good writer, and if given the chance I'd prove it.
