Out of this world TV ideas
"STAR Trekkin' across the universe...boldy going forward 'cos we can't find reverse!' So went the lyrics of 1987's No1 novelty hit by The Firm.
The sci-fi franchise certainly seems to have a knack of predicting the future. Tomorrow is officially Star Trek Day, and to mark the occasion looks at some of the things it had seen coming...
FLIP PHONES:
Star Trek's familiar communicator was used by Captain James T. Kirk, played by William Shatner, and the crew of the USS Enterprise to stay in touch on the original 1960s series. It predated the first mobile phone, created in 1973 by American inventor Martin Cooper. He cited the show as an inspiration. Motorola debuted a Star Trek-style flip-phone in 1996.
