Role playing gaming centers around people who aren't everyday folks.
GURPS: Accounting and GURPS: Fast Food Worker didn't do well in playtesting...
Yet, even in the Traveller universe those same people you see everyday will have their counterpart.
Most people live the same life you do today. They never really travel, they go to work, they socialize they're just normal people.
It just happens there's a starport or two on their planet and goods can conceivably shipped in from a lot farther than China.
It's pretty boring and not good adventure fodder. It makes the future so... mundane.
It's a bit strange to think that a city in Traveller will look a lot more like Los Angeles than Logan's Run.
