I was looking for the clip with Triumph the Insult Comedy Dog is lambasting William Shatner, but I couldn't find it. Too bad, it is hilarious.

Smile And another county heard from --

Reason Online has a wonderful retrospective on Star Trek, and the effect it's had on our society. The author calls it "the most American television show ever made."

Yep.

A ground-breaking show for its time... Much like the Star Wars movies a few years later.

It is also amazing how much of our current technology was "predicted" by Star Trek.

At the time, the idea of a wireless flip-top "communicator" was so futuristic... Now we ALL carry them (cell phones), and don't think twice about it!

GPS, night-vision, space stations, shuttlecraft.... All "predicted" by Roddenberry.

Most science fiction eventually becomes science fact.
