As a geezer I remember when Star Trek the original series came out. I loved it. I have always been into Science Fiction. Star Trek is not great Science fiction but it was all there was.
Every kid wanted a communicator and a phaser. It boggles my mind to think the flip phone has come and gone. Why have just a two way radio only? I can make video phones calls and all the other things a smart phone can do. A Star Trek communicator is outdated!
Everyone thought an automatic door was silly and would never happen. Now every store has automatic doors. They don't make the cool shoosh noise like in Star Trek, but they open automatically! And no one pays them any attention.
