Thawed Through Time

The pilot episode of Futurama depicts the society in the year 3000. A pizza delivery boy named Fry has been frozen in a chamber and thaw a thousand years after.

Back in my childhood, I was a fan of television series. I remember 'The Jetsons' to have similar plot of the future to Futurama. The future presented in the show is somewhat based on a consistent development in science - hovering cars for transportation, independently interacting robots being part of the society, wireless technology all through out the city, and other showcase of advanced technology. Futurama shows the vast imagination of its creators and their ideal concept of the future.

Futurama also presented an act of time travelling. Being frozen for years and keeping the body intact is their concept of time travel. I think that their concept of time travel is not possible as to freezing won't stop time around its subject and therefore violating the concept of ageing. But science hasn't reach its limits and noting that it would have endless possibilities.
