Poll of the Week: Technology In Question

StarBase 118 Staff · July 16, 2020

For all the connections, friendships, and political intrigue that exists in the world of Star Trek, none of it would be possible without the technology which underpins it all. Our starships thrum with power from the warp engines to propel these huge megastructures through space across the galaxy, storing food is no longer an issue as replicators using modules and digital instructions reproduce whatever is called for, tricorders of both the medical and scientific give knowledge and information on scanned items at the push of control, and universal translators allow species to converse without requiring full knowledge of the language.

Technology has also become the central backbone of our everyday life as well, be that communicating over vast distances with people in other languages, using smartphones to replicate tricorders to give us information wherever we are in the world, 3D printing using replicator technology to print on demand what we want, or the virtualisation of our environment using virtual reality devices transporting us out of our physical space. Wherever we look, technology is improving in leaps and bounds, faster than we can anticipate, and we’re already looking at a future filled with the technology we have seen for decades on Star Trek’s futuristic scope.

For our poll this week, we invite you to look forward into the future of this technological relationship between fictional and real.

Which of these Star Trek technologies you would most like to see in your lifetime?
