I know it's slightly off-topic, kind of, but the funny looking viewer on Sulu's helm console didn't make it to the next century! And probably every Six Flags amusement park! -- RR
What didn't make it to the 24th century?

Actually, the California coastal region apparently didn't make it to the 24th century. Janeway said it was a part of Earth's largest coral reef.
Eddington showed Sisko an old Canadian $1 coin, a family heirloom, so apparently Canada has made it to the 24th Century. And perhaps Eddington himself is a Canadian?
I always thought there should be a Canadian character in ST in honor of William Shatner. So I guess Eddington is the closest we'll get. And I do remember in one ep of TNG, Lower Decks, LaVelle gets the mistaken impression Commander Riker was Canadian.
I always thought some lower-lying countries like Bangladesh and some island nations probably don't make it to the 24th century because of rising sea levels, caused by global warming.

I believe that that is what LCARS 24 meant, as the thread title asks "What didn't make it... ?"
Pop music. No mention of New Kids on the Block, Michael Jackson or hip hop.
But we know that motion pictures were a source of entertainment during ENTERPRISE. But I often wondered why they only showed "old" movies. It would have been fun to see the crew watching a "current release". Say like ROCKY XXXLLIVIII.
Ya, it said somewhere that the TV ceased to exist by 2140 (somewhere there). I wonder if they are just referring to the television sets not the shows we watch on tv?
On Enterprise, Trip was watching the olympics on a display in his quarters. So perhaps its just the tv sets themselves that ceased to exist including the VCR and DVD players.
Like the Elf in Eragon *shudders*. I'll never get over the hairless groin scene.
Anyone else read that atrocity of a book series? On topic... Corby definitely won't make it into the 24th century. Hell, it won't survive new year's eve.
2040 actually. probably replaced by on-demand downloads.
after all, FutureJaneway watches the news in "Endgame" and there's all those reporters in GEN...
Yes, but ST Enterprise is not 24 century.But we know that motion pictures were a source of entertainment during ENTERPRISE. But I often wondered why they only showed "old" movies. It would have been fun to see the crew watching a "current release". Say like ROCKY XXXLLIVIII.
And they probably still have older movies in 24 century, and also in Enterprise of course, but I wonder if current releases exist...
Why would you watch a movie, if you can be a part of it in holodeck?
Is there any reason to think they ever changed the name to St.Petersburg to begin with? In the Trek world, that is. It was by no means clear that the change would happen in our world, either, when the Soviet Union fell. For example the Leningrad Oblast still survives there, as do many other things named after the revolutionary leader. And it's not as if the folks there really think Lenin or Stalin were all that bad. They did make Russia a superpower, won a couple of important wars and so forth. And rather bad rulers from the past are being commemorated in the city names of the western world today, too.

The Federation Gov is in Paris so it still survives(and also "We Always Have Paris" or whatever it was called.) We know France still grows grapes for wine, the Med is being 'engineered', Florida has a big hole in it and SF still exists. El Capitan in Yellowstone is still there in the 23 century. Maybe New Zealand was sunk in the weird weather caused by the Probe in ST4? Alaska and Iowa would probably survive a nuclear exchange so their continued existence makes sense-but you never hear about Chicago or Detroit. Are they gone?
Money. At least for Starfleet personnel.
I'm sure there are bathrooms on the ships.... lol
