The characters in Star Trek get to wield all kinds of high-tech gadgetry. Some of these gizmos are purely science fiction. What technologies have actually come to pass? » Full Story on HowStuffWorks

Which was better, more entertaining, and more interesting? Star Wars or Star Trek? Somebody please tell me.

Without a doubt Star Wars is more entertaining, but, the fact remains that some of the tech stuff in the Star Trek series did come true , such as hand held communication devices (cell phones) and desk top computers, also hand held med scanners, and diagnostic beds (MRIs)

Gene Roddenberry, may he rest in peace, was a true visionary. He would have been so proud of today's technology. Thanks, Gene. We couldn't have changed the laws of physics without you.
