You know, I think this show was so inspirational was because a bunch of nerds got into a room, and dreamed a utopia approach to technology.Especially TNG, so visionary.It's like the world fair, except with no restriction to having to stay inside the present industries, current technology models, current limitations.

@evilgourmet: YES. WE GET IT.OPEN SOURCE IS GREAT.Now, please, stop inserting it into every topic that your mind can possibly find even the smallest relevance in. It's annoying, and doesn't help your cause.

How about Trekkie Conventions.They were inspired by Star Trek, weren't they?

Exactly. This article dosen't cite any sources or anything. It's completely made up. For example, automatic doors don't use wheels because it's BETTER DESIGN, not so they can sound more like Star Trek.
