How StarTrek changed the world..
A show tonight was how William Shatner change the world. Its curious to look at how much of what was in StarTrek has kinda become true. I object to it being how he changed the world for, he was not the writer, producer or so on.. He was key, but he alone did not make the change. The whole crew of the USS Enterprise did.
Things like the injection things that had no obvious needles, we have those now.
Communicators.. nearly everyone has a mobile phone
MRI scans are much like a large version of tricorders
Computers - our computers are capable of speach recognition, processing and working around what we say as well as mutiple processes, large databases etc.. at the time of StarTrek 1, this just wasnt.
Apparently other wierd stuff they metion and had totally made up such as ionic propulsion.. is actually doable too!
Just a shame that "StarTrek night" has 1 frigging StarTrek show and a lot of waffle pampering to William Shatners unfortunately large ego.
