While watching an episode of TOS, I started to wonder: how did they screw up the computer's voice? Why would they think, 300 years in the future, the computer would sound like a robotic, cold, voice synthesizer? They even got it right (ironically) in "Tomorrow is Yesterday", where the voice was completely human.
Given the forward-looking and creative outlook of science fiction in the 50s and 60s, what made the producers balk and make the computer what it became?
