Star Trek inspired so much technology we used today

Full Podcast: • The Final Frontier Sea...
While talking about the original pilot for Star Trek, The Cage, Jake noticed for the first time that the Enterprise has a printer on the bridge. At first glance today this seems like super old technology to be featured in Star Trek, but when you consider it was the year 1965 this was a very logical thing. The concept of tablet computers was at best science fiction and the people of that day would have no idea how technology would change. But Star Trek became a self-fulfilling prophecy as children who watched Star Trek as children became engineers and scientists and wanted to create the technologies they saw in Star Trek. The communicator became the flip phone, video conferencing is commonplace today and tiny computers are in virtually everyone's pockets.

Who would have thought of "flipping something open"?
Do you mean like opening a pocket sized notepad stereotypically used by detectives?
