As Ben and I sit here watching an episode of Star Trek: TNG, I sit here thinking about how sweet sci-fi is. It's a major reason why I enjoy science and engineering. Though we are almost a decade into the 21st century and there are no flying cars, there have been many sci-fi-esque technologies that are a step towards what we have believed to be the future from novels, television and film.
For proof, look no further than this headline:
We can now legitimately say things like
"The experiment was the first time that a ground vehicle has used a laser to destroy moving aircraft and marks a watershed moment in the development of lasers for battlefield use."
So now that it's the future, now where's my robot butler?
