I take issue with video games and film being a waste. The entire idea of a warp-drive comes from science fiction and people daydreaming/trying to escape their current reality. The Hyperloop is directly out of Heinlein. Subterranean cannons on the moon as a public transport device... Without escapism we lose the essence of human creativity, imagining a future that is different from the present. Do you think we would have bothered to build rockets and go to space/the moon if science fiction hadn't whetted the public's curiosity? If anything, the problem is that current escapism kind of sucks and we need to do it better. edit:lose/loose
