Well, Yes and no, My comment above was tongue in cheek as yours is, but its surprising that some of the tech we use today mirrors that of a sci-fi show set in the future but made in the past....
For instance:
Medical Tricorder -> MRI Scanner
Handheld Communicator -> Mobile Flip Phone
Phaser -> Military PHASR
Holodeck -> VR Headsets
Transporter -> Subatomic Transportation
Universal Translator -> Phraselator or Google Translate
Geordi's VISOR -> JORDY Headset for Vision impaired people
Uhura's Earpiece -> Bluetooth Headset
Forcefields -> Plasma Bubbles
and or course the PADD -> The Ipad (I bet the PADD didn't have a multi touch full colour screen
)
Obviously some of these are stretching the imagination or are still experimental, but some are almost spot on, which goes to prove that APPLE techs must be Trekkies!
Ohh, Sorry Chris for steering your thread off topic, lets get back to it Eh?
