[Male Speaking] Hi everybody. this is T-Fig from T-Fig Bass Player. I'd like to talk to you about
technology in Star Trek TV shows and in
the world today. all right, the first
thing I want to talk to you about is the
Star Trek characters and how the Star
Trek characters are pretty much like
characters on a submarine in the
military. okay. Alright, they wear uniforms. they communicate
military terms. okay.
well next, I'd like to talk to you about
also is how they use the computer view
screen in Star Trek. they use it to
communicate with each other. okay. and
also now with communicating, you see
people also using computers today.
using computers to talk to each other
and communicate with each other around
the world. all right, also you have people
using Siri and Alexa
yeah, Siri of course is on your phones, but
you use that to find places and where to
go and then also as a computer it talks. you also use Alexa and you actually do talk
with the computer Alexa
just like in Star Trek, you use - they use
a computer and
it helps them to get around or get
information from as well. all right,
next up I want to mention in Star Trek
they have sliding doors as they enter
into each part of the ship and the only
way I really could see a similarity with
that is like at grocery stores or places
that have actually sliding doors. okay.
all right,
also with the Star Trek shows and movies,
they use hand-held communicators to
communicate with each other. okay. all
right, now you'll see Captain Kirk
usually uses this when they're ready to
beam aboard the ship.
okay and also this is kind of similar
with cell phones as we got today.
yeah. I'm sorry. they use flip phones
today or have used flip phones in the
past and that was very much taken from
Star Trek. okay. now...
all right, the fifth thing I want to
mention is like people in Star Trek -
before they are sent to the ships,
they go through Starfleet Academy. alright,
that's where they're trained and learn what to do when they're on board a ship. okay.
in the military, you have to go through
basic training. okay, you go through
basic training. after you complete that,
then they send you to where you need to
go to kind of begin your career in the
military.
okay. alright, the sixth thing I want to
mention is in Star Trek - one of the TV
shows (I think the later show - Next
Generation on), they use the holodeck and in
the holodeck, they would reenact
and have fun in the holodeck
interacting with Holograms kind of just
for enjoyment. and in the world today,
you have - well you have like virtual
reality. okay and you have people using
virtual reality games. in a way, that's
pretty much as close as we have now to
Star Trek's holodeck. okay. all right, the last thing - next thing I
want to mention with Star Trek is that
the name (the USS Enterprise) all
right, that you see on the hull of the USS
Enterprise in Star Trek -
well that name USS Enterprise actually
did come from the US Navy carrier.
it was also called the USS Enterprise,
but the original was in the 1700s back
in the day.
okay. all right, now the final thing I
want to mention and similarity with - I
just thought I'd throw this in - that uh
as we did see in Star Trek back in the
day how they communicated using the
view screens and communicated back and forth with each other and could see each
other as they talk, well in the movie
"Back to the Future 2" with Michael J. Fox,
they did show a scene where he's
communicating with his boss and they
were communicating with their
television screens and I kind of thought
that was neat how they kind of showed how they were using it in their everyday
lives, as far as on the movie - Back to the
Future 2. okay. well, that was a few
similarities between Star Trek tech and
the world today as far as the technology
that we're using.
okay. well, this is T-Fig Bass Player and I
