Growing up a Trekkie
Some've argued that the Star Trek TV series created a disillusioned generation because of the great disparity between what Star Trek "promised" about our future and what our scientists really accomplised. I disagree. Instead, my view is that Star Trek inspired and continues to inspire both young and old, specifically in terms of the possibilities for the future. Imagine a future in which interstellar travel is the norm, where teleporting to work is the norm, where food replicators are used in the home instead of stoves, fridges and microwaves. Just imagine ;-) And remember, it's only a movie.
