can i ask you all a question?

specifically writers or people interested in speculative technology or culturology or sci fi writing?

so i had this idea of writing a space opera with furry characters that takes place a century into the future and i was wondering, how does one imagine future technology or culture in sci fi works like this without it all looking like we all got basically stuck in the 21st century but have laser guns and spaceships
