When skeuomorphic GUIs were hot, I remember thinking the LCARS interface in Star Trek computers looked so cool, and why current GUIs couldn't be like that. Little did I know that they looked cool and modern, but were less functional, sometimes even less ergonomic. This could be perceived different by generations that didn't grow up with mechanical knobs, buttons and thingamajigs, though.
