Overview
When Austin gets shocked by the Tune-Pro 3000, he dreams he's transported to a fantastical future, he realizes that advanced technology can feel less personal when it comes to song writing, and learns to appreciate the traditional process.

Detailed Plot
In the beginning of the episode, Austin's invited to the World Music Festival by Jimmy; he tells Austin to write a new song for the occasion before leaving. Meanwhile, Austin and Dez head to the International Invention Convention, where he comes across the Tune Pro 3000. He wants to take a short-cut on writing the new song while Ally wants to write the song the traditional way. During this, the machine falls to the floor and breaks.

Austin attempts to fix it, and when he 'has,' he touches it and gets shocked. He wakes up 332 years in the future--or the year 2345--and is at first wooed by the future. After he finds out that music does not truly exist--their idea of music is strange sounds--he attempts to get his friends' help in writing a song the traditional way to bring

the present to the future.He performs Timeless, and halfway through the song, the white clothes that everyone was wearing are transformed into colorful clothing--they all enjoy the song, and then Austin gets shocked by a Tune Pro again. He awakens and finds himself back in the year 2013; he finds out that it was all a dream, but the end suggests that the future could truly be that way.
