Should've been set in 2254

I love this film, as its political allegory is spot on. However, I don't believe technology would have moved on so much in such a short time. Scanners that heal by 2154? Just way too soon. That is my only gripe about this fabulous film

well the movie takes place approximately 140 years after it was filmed, what if you want 140 years in the OTHER direction? Imagine comparing 1873 to 2013? Think of how different those 2 worlds are?
