They say a star is born every minute, but in today’s world of constantly changing high-tech advances, there is something new every second. It isn’t so long ago since we were watching Star Trek and thinking that Captain Kirk’s phone was the coolest thing ever, too bad we don’t have phones like his.
Well, surprise, we have exactly phones like his, well almost. Kirk’s phone was just a prop carried around by an actor name William Shatner, and there were no cell towers on any of the planets where Kirk was always able to get perfect reception, and whose battery never ran down. Never mind.
Today our phones are even better than Kirk’s, hands down. Could Kirk search the internet with his phone? Of course not. I don’t think he even had a camera on his phone, OMG! And the only voice ever coming out of the other end was Scotty’s, telling Kirk there was almost no power left on the transporter, and he had better kill a few beasts and get back on board ASAP! Today’s phones can even tell us about our appointments, if we got a new email message, and a million other helpful, and most importantly, cool things Kirk, Spock and McCoy could never even have imagined. Enjoy your new phone and go where no man has gone before.
