Hubby and I watched an episode together and were in awe of all the technology from the original Star Trek that is in use today.
Yes, I don't know how I could get to work without my matter transmitter. . . "Beam me to work, honey!"
Indeed. I was loading a bunch of e-books, movies and music onto a micro-SD memory card recently and was struck by how much more advanced that seemed than even Star Trek envisioned (in the original series, portable data storage devices looked like plastic wafers about the size of 3 1/2" floppy disks).
My sister gave me an Amazon Echo (fancy streaming audio speaker) for Christmas. Damned if it doesn't approximate the Star Trek computers' voice interface. All it needs is Majel Barrett's voice.
