Didn't you see the Simpsons movie? It keeps the undesirables where they can't bother regular folk.

If the outside atmosphere is totally polluted, you'll know

It also helps to keep evildoers (like immigrants etc) out, and prevents cheap labour from running away (to be immigrants somewhere else).

I figured that was the case with replicators. Once you can have everything, you don't need anything.

I remember when folks said wed have portable communicating devices we'd carry everywhere.

And back in the 1965 worlds fair, I think it was, ATT showed off a picture phone, which idea Kubrick picked up on.

Silly Sci fi authors.

And we think the problems with car accidents are bad now. Traffic Report:

There's been an accident on the 5 Freeway. There's no traffic tie up, however, because every vehicle within a 5 mile radius has been vaporized.
