Okay, in Mother's Day, the Planet Express crew have never heard of the wheel. But in The Problem with Popplers the circus cages are wheeled.  Also, in Parasites Lost, Leela says "A Holophonor? Only a few people in the universe can play that, and they can't play it well!" But in The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings, the children at the place Fry visits for lessons are playing Holophonors fairly well.

Also, has nobody considered that the light reflected from Leela's tank top (as with any other object that Bender looks at) might be measured by sensors within his eyes (or another part) that do not plug into his visual matrix, but instead feed directly into his computerised brain, allowing him to analyse the light's wavelength and determine the colour without "seeing" it? Or would that be too high-tech and/or implausible for a science-fiction cartoon set a thousand years hence? In addition, Originally posted by PazuzuJr: ^lol ^ ^ Spam. Really. Spam. It's bad. Stop doing it.

Incidentally, how long does it take for a language to become a dead language and completely nonsensical to people? So French had to be extinct for a few hundrd years at least.

I was talking about the language, not the people. Anyway, they never mention French people still being there. It's called the republic of French Stereotypes now

Originally posted by Volksdragon: Well, there were loads of groundbreaking technology advances in the past thousand years. While that's also true in 3000, they still have recognizeable daily things from the 1990's like 7/11s and the Plymouth car company. It's almost like the show has a "Dark Ages", that is, a 1000-year hole in history that is rarely spoken about. I said rarely, not ever. Like renaming Uranus and the like. This could be brought on by the alien invasions. The 1000-year chronology might not mean 1000 more years of what's gone on in science and technology over, say, the past 150 years. Leela does say Fry is from the Stupid Ages, but I would think that, from 3000 looking back, the time period of 1600 - First Alien Invasion would be the First Renaissance, while what they live in is the Second.
