The Real- Life Science Behind Star Trek Technology [Infographic]



      We all know that technology advances fast, but do you realize how fast? If you look at what we are able to do today compared to just two or three years ago, well, it’s nuts. Think about it, the first generation of the iPhone was released five years ago this month. Doesn’t it seem like we’ve had iPhones longer than that? How did we ever live without smartphones in the first place?
     Scientists are also working on some mind boggling things that will soon be real, like augmented reality contact lenses. Microsoft has even developed the world’s first Universal Translator (or as close to it as we’ll get right now since we don’t communicate with people of other species yet). It’s an exciting time, and it’s easy to fall behind the latest developments. I suppose that is one reason why I can’t break away from my laptop for very long.
