not to be too "Trekkie" here but here is my thoughts on that.
We are going to tiny little phones..but there will come a point when small will be TOO small...our fingers are only able to manipulate things well that they can get a grip on! so I think ;D They wised up in the future and went with utility over size...what was most comfortable and easiest for the majority to use.
delalluvia:
I love the "Next Generation" and "Enterprise" and all the movies.
"Deep Space Nine" bored me and "Voyager" never interested me at all, so I never watched them.
The original "Star Trek" is OK. I guess it would have made more of an impact had I seen it back in the day when it was the only SF around. But now...[shrug]
Gene Roddenberry's wife is also the voice of the computer.
I think Gene and Nichelle Nichols also had an affair according to her.

fave movie was the Wrath of Kahn!!
that Ricardo Montalban....dang, he could chew up some scenery...

and what about when you are in a crowd? or somewhere where you need privacy?
Oops...I just thought...I guess it would be tuned to just YOUR thoughts...
hmmm
BACK to the drawing board!! :laugh: :laugh:

Voyager - Janeway's (Kate Mulgrew) mousey voice bothered me at first, but I grew to really like the show. And I thought Tom Paris was hot. Roxann Dawson, who starred as B'Elanna Torres, went on to direct several episodes of Enterprise.
The Next Generation - Thank goodness they brought Trek back! I loved this show!
DS-9 was my least favorite of the Trek shows.
Gene Roddenberry's wife was Majel Barrett. She starred in some Trek episodes ("Nurse Chapel" from Star Trek and "Lwaxana Troi" in Star Trek: The Next Generation), and did have quite a bit to do with later Trek series.
Has anyone ever been a complete nerd and filmed a mini-Trek episode (starring yourself and two friends) at Universal's theme park in Orlando? I admit it. It is worth a laugh!
On another note, any Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica (the new one) fans here?

loved Bab 5, I remember the original Battlestar and it was so bad we used to make fun of it way back then, the new one is ok, but it never grabbed me like Bab 5 did.
