How Star Trek Changed The World


I was just watching a documentary on Star Trek. It was very interesting. It showed how Star Trek made a huge impact on technology. From watching Star Trek, people got the idea and inspiration to invent things like: medical machines that can remove harmful things from your head by using a laser, ipods, cell phones, better computers, and one guy figured out how to put a computer chip in his arm that made a robotic arm move as his hand moved. And people are continuing to invent things, inspired by Star Trek. Unless you've watched Star Trek a lot, you won't know what a "holodeck" is, but a man is working on inventing that. It would be spectacular if such a thing could be invented. A holodeck is a room in which you can tell the computer to create a scene, like, a desert, or even a story, like Sherlock Holmes, and the computer creates a very realistic, life-sized scene, and you're actually in it. You could be Sherlock Holmes, and really solve a mystery. It's like being inside a computer game. That would be cool. So, everyone: watch Star Trek!!!
