Futurama

In Futurama, when Fry arrived at year 3000, everything seemed to change - from individual lifestyles of people to the interaction or the society itself. The future described in the show was something that is possible to happen judging on how science and technology advances on the contemporary time. Individuals no longer choose how they would live their life; it was already predetermined with chips implanted in them. But they could choose how to end it in the suicide booth - either a slow and painful death or a fast sudden death.

Also, aliens had contact with humans, and even became acquaintances, together with a robot who seems to act like an ordinary person. Science and technology might make our works easier and faster, but does it make our life better? For some, the answer might be yes; for some, it might be no. I am a little bit caught in between, because Futurama shows both: advanced technologies and transportation, but an inescapable fate.

Time travelling was tackled in one of the common ways I've seen in shows wherein a caveman was frozen and then thawed because of global warming - the result, he was preserved and lived another time in the future. The concept is the same, freezing the person in a tube with cryogenic, and he picks the time he wants to travel to. Therefore, escaping the present and gets to live the same life in another time.
