Who would have thought that a device designed for the star trek series would become obsolete before there was intergalactic travel at warp 8.
People thought that the I-pad concept came from the 2001 a space odyssey movie but my older cousin Les had a pad style communication device when he started at IBM after getting out of the army and I was like 14. That was a LONG time ago. It was thicker than todays I-pads and samsung equivs but same concept.
Cuz' unless your a Trekkie' no one knows where to get Dilithium Crystals from let alone a way to get there in present day technology. But in retrospect I would suppose something more like the early 2000's movie remake version of 50-60's TV show "Lost in Space" before Star Trek Class D ships are buzzing around.
