TREK PHILOSOPHY
Do you know that you have the first non-stereotypical role on television? You're a first. This is not a female role. This is not a black role. This is a quality role, and this is an equal role, and it is in a command position. You have to carry on, because not only do little black children and do women see you and aspire and do you have meaning for them, but everyone else sees us for the first time the way we are supposed to be - on an equal basis, and on a level of dignity and authority and with the highest of qualifications.
Martin Luther King to Nichelle Nichols

TECHNOLOGY
Science fiction paves the way to science fact by showing us a possible vision of a positive future
THE DATAPAD
THE COMMUNICATOR
THE BORG COLLECTIVE
PRACTITIONER/THEORIST
Science fiction has never really aimed to tell
us when we might reach other planets, or
develop new technologies, or meet aliens.
Science fiction speculates about why we
might want to do these things, and how their
consequences might affect our lives and our
planet. John Clute (1995)
PRACTITIONER/THEORIST
In the 23rd century universe of "Star Trek," people talked to each other using wireless personal communicators, had easy access to a vast database of information and spent hours gazing at a big wall-mounted video screen…on 21st century Earth, that future is already here.
Evangelista (2004)
PRACTITIONER/THEORIST
When I designed the UI (user interface) for
the Palm OS back in '93, my first sketches
were influenced by the UI of the Enterprise
