It's a question of what reality can do to simulate future tech.  If, in
1963, you tried to peddle the idea of a flat and thin display monitor,
never mind one that accepted commands by touching it, you'd have been
laughed at.

And remember, too, that the only reason the corridors in the original
show were that large was so they could move the TV cameras around the
sets.
