I was an avid reader of Asimov and believed everything he predicted could be true. My father always chided me for reading such trash.

Then, when one of Asimov's stories mentioned a desk-top computer... the bubble of fantasy burst and I realized my father was right.

How funny.

What about them Star Trek Communicators. Beam me up, Scotty; there's no intelligent life down here.

As I write, I have on my hip a LG flip phone which has speakerphone (which I seldom use). If Jimmy Doohan were still alive, I could hold it in front of my chest and ask him to beam me up.

Those flip phones were modeled after the Start Trek communicators.

I really get a kick out of those sci-fi movies from the 30's where the intercom system on those space ships used a dial phone!
