10 Awful Fashion Trends Of The Future (According To Films)

4. Cyborg Stuff

As seen in: Star Wars, Johnny Mneomic, basically everything Of course, the real future of humanity isn't all about the clothes. It's about how we're going to transcend our fallible fleshy bodies and start augmenting them with extra technology, with robotic implants and USB ports in our skulls and stuff to effectively turn us into cyborgs. But have you ever seen one of those augmentations that actually looks cool? Google Glass is technically a step towards becoming cyborgs, and they look really stupid. Then there's Dr Steve Mann, the inventor of wearable computing, who's been wearing a weird video headset since the mid-nineties and looks like a complete dork (and got his ass handed to him in a French McDonalds, he was so ridiculous looking). No cyborg looks cool. Luke Skywalker's robot arm from Star Wars was especially half-arsed, like somebody had fished it out of that trash compactor and just sorta slapped it on. And then it got made to look like the real thing, which was also no fun. That's the direction cyborg enhancements seem to go in films: you either don't notice them, or else they're so hard to ignore it makes the wearer look like somebody who stumbled into a darkened IT cupboard, got tangled up in all the cables and then stumbled out the other side. And not in a good way.
