!!!Star Trek!!!

How cool would it be to be able to beam from one place to another within seconds or to be able to shoot lasers at people instead of guns??? In my personal opinion being able to beam from one place to another would be totally cool. You would really never have to worry about driving anywhere or walking or running, becasue within seconds you could just magically beam yourself there. Trading lasers for guns would be, in a way better, also. First of all, lasers arent as messy because there are no bullet casings to clean up or anything and they are quicker i believe.



Watching the episode of star treck in class made me realize although it may seem like the technology is so advanced from what we have now, it really isnt. Sure we may not be able to beam places, but we do have communicator devices, also known as cellphones, and we do have laser treatments, commonly known as eye surgery. Maybe they arent exactly the same but definate similarities are there. People constantly argue over if technology today is invented from what people see on tv, or if what people see on tv is from something that already exists in a different form. I guess i would have to say that the technology that exists in the world today is a combination of both arguments. Some things may have been invented purley for the reason that some one saw it on tv and decided to become rich and famous from it, and some things may have already been invented and tv made it look cooler without anyone knowing.



Science is a brilliant and complex world of its own. Scientists are majorly important in our world, but also they can be a bit of attention hoggers. I only say this because no matter what they create they make a big deal out of it, Even if it has already existed in a different form. Take cell phones for example, a cell phone today like the iphone came from the telephone that was invented in 1876 i believe. Yet cellphones that have been created recently are looked at and talked upon like they are the greatest things on the planet. I would like to credit scientists on other inventions and discoveries that may never have existed if it weren't for scientists.

I do not know what the future will hold for us, and i do not know of the many inventions that will come. I do believe this universe is capable of creating various types of old and new things and great things will come from it. Anything is possible if you believe, and i think this country in particular believes that more than anyone. I know i do. Scientists will always be one step ahead of everyone even if that means being one step behind.
