I remember watching that scene and he was putting up the neck rest way too far, like how can that be comfortable? AND THEN HE PUT IT UP EVEN FURTHER!

I get the scene was supposed to show you could just tell a computer how you want your chair configured and the chair would just do it automatically instead of manually having to do it. But he looked miserable. Or maybe he just looked miserable because while he was in the future, his family was still stuck in the late 1960s.
