The exhibition is a museum piece celebrating the iconic sci-fiseries. In addition to the normal array of props, costumes, and ship models, it has a series of displays on how Star Trek impacted real-world science and technology. Although things like transporters and warp drives are, unfortunately, likely impossible, Star Trek did directly inspire developers at Motorola in the creation of the first cell phones. Characters on the show also carried around small, portable computers called PADDs. As visionary as the show was, however, even they did not envision a world in which those portable communicators would merge with PADDs into a single device.

In many ways, we are at the dawn of a new age in computers.
Our children will marvel at the thought of carrying around a device that can only make calls. My kids, in fact, are already used to the idea that Daddy’s phone can take pictures, provide voice-guided directions, and, most importantly in their 8- and 4-year-old minds, allow them to play games.
