Interesting star trek thoughts.
Jul. 14th, 2010 11:43 amHow much is the Ipad exactly like the PADD (Personal Access Display Device) in the Star Trek universe. I'm probably late on the band wagon of people who've already noticed this but I was reading Star Trek reboot fic with a scene of Spock using a PADD and it slammed into my face all at once.
So who do you think is going to start working on tricoders first Apple or Google? I mean they're trying to take over the world with tech that is *gasp* actually useful and cool. The execs probably sit around watching star trek with notepads to get ideas. That's an R&D meeting I would love to be a fly on the wall at.
