What discoveries have come true from the series? I have heard that they actually have made anti-matter, in controlled labs, but is very short lived.
What do you think are some of the ideas that have come or will be reality that came from the Star Trek?

I'm definitely waiting for 'Warp speed', the Transporter and the Phaser...yes, in time we'll have these things.
One example is our Stealth bomber which is similar to a cloaked Romulan Warship.

Yeah, Star Trek was ahead of it's time!
Mobile phones came out of it, they look alot like the communicators that were used at one time or another on Star Trek.
They have tested the theory of "beaming" people up, but it would use the equivalent of an attomic bomb to move one person right now.
I've heard that there are other things that came out of the show, but I can't remember what!
Oh, and bi-racial relationships - Captain Kirk kissing a black officer was way ahead of its time!

Lots of science fiction writers put concepts into their stories many years before they became reality. Just think of all the StarTrek communicators and how they look like cell phones. And James Bonds' car in GoldFinger had a GPS like device (although in the movie it was tracking device) and now they are common in cars.
It is fun to think about. So what devices are in today's science fiction movies that will be common place in a few years ?

Star Trek was ahead of it's time socially more than scientifically. America should really look in to the The Prime Directive. Data's perspective on humanity was profound. Star Trek was bomb.
