It's funny how the future was depicted in Star Trek during the years. TOS reminds a lot of Cold War: secret messages, big metallic instruments with handles, very little seems to be digital. TNG takes some of the 80s fashion: spandex suits, tall and bold typefaces, glass panels, the color blue and social issues. Enterprise deals a lot with terrorism, uncertainty and war. It makes me a little sad to think that Star Trek is just another way to interpret the present.
Most Science Fiction, from Jules Verne onward, is an interpretation someway of the world it was written in. The fantasy world of the future provides a safe place for writers to explore society. The visual cues you mention are perhaps unavoidable... it's almost impossible to separate a conceptualization of the future from contemporary technology.
I would also add that TOS was probably more obsessed with social issues than TNG, it being a product of the sixties and Gene Roddenberry. But it's pointlessly poindextery to argue ...
