Okay, this is a bit geeky, but kind of fun. Star Trek "invented" a lot of cool gadgets to help the crew with their work. Communicators and tricorders are basically here given the capabilities of modern smartphones, but some "treknology" is still a ways out there. Which hypothetical Trek technology do you want right now? How would you use it?
And, to answer my own question, the transporter. I could save so much time in my day if I could just "beam" to work, shopping, my hot lover's place, etc.
How come Zoe Saldana isn't an answer? Lol - honestly, the transporter would be awesome, just think of it...
sprite black boxes Liz: hey, girl, what are you doing?
liz: getting naked with my girl. want to come play with us? *sends co-ordinates*
sprite: be right there! *gets naked, transports into the middle of westminster abby* errr... LIZZZZZZZ (in best KHAAAAANNNNN voice).
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
A Replicator! Great to use with gold bullion and diamonds.
Warp Drive.
It’s the obvious answer from a scientific and engineering perspective. Plus it has major significance in terms of the Star Trek canon.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
Just give me command of the Enterprise. That Prime Directive thing gonna change tho
"Rach, you spoke French." * LYFBUZ begins laying kisses up Sprite's arm*
(If you don't get it, you're too young. Nyah.)
Warp Drive has some fundamental problems with Special Relativity but, yeah, as a space geek it'd be cool to have. I just think the transporter is more practical for me.
Transporter. So I can slap those that annoy me and transport back.
Transporter. I would love to see old and new friends quickly.
Transporter today. I want to be somewhere hot and sunny.
The replicator, just imagine never having to cook again. btw, with all the advanced technology, they still never came up with a cure for male baldness? Or circuit breakers to stop the computer consoles exploding, or seat belts to stop them getting thrown out of their seats every time the ship is hit?
Transporter....I want to see Marie anytime I want in a heart beat
Phasers! How could you leave out phasers?
