Another step closer to Star Trek.

I just watched an episode of Star Trek Voyager a couple of weeks ago.  We are pretty close to most of the "computer" type tech now.  We talk to our computers, we use touch screens, most of our systems can be automated.  Sure, we don't make our lunch out of thin air, but that isn't my point either.  Heck, after watching Star Trek Beyond in theatres a few weeks ago, hollywood is having a hard time making the future look high tech or "futuristic" as far as computers go.

Besides a replicator, the only tech in Star Trek that would be really useful for everyday life would be a transporter.  

 

This is why most would agree, Star Trek is better on TV, but besides that I think we still have a long ways to go tech wise. We need somebody to make Tricorders, and Universal Translator.
