Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact

Just a quick note as I sit here in amazement. As someone who was a "Trek-ie" at one point in her life, I watched in wonder at the fascinating devices that the minds of the writers would dream up.

I swear the Nextel 'beep-beep' service is the first cousin of the original communicators. And now a good friend has shown me something that just made me gasp; The Kindle2. "A wire-less reading device" just like the one that Capt. Luc Picard used on Deep Space 9.

I'm telling you people, it's just a matter of time before we'll be saying "I'll be right there. Just beaming up."

Be afraid... be very afraid.
