OK, this has bothered me for years. Gene Roddenberry was a genius and the original show was great. I mean they came up with:
- Warp drive - flying faster than the speed of light
- Transporter - blow up all your molecules and then reassemble them in a different location
- Phasor - hand held weapon that could vaporize stuff
- Gravity - space ship where you could walk around as if weightlessness didn't exist
- Tricorder - don't know what it does, but it makes a cool sound
- Tractor beam - hold ships by magic
- Shields - protect yourself by magic
But with all that imagination, they couldn't envision something other than a CRT for monitors?!?!?
