How Star Trek and Captain Kirk Changed our World and Cosmos

Today on Far Future Horizons we join veteran actor William Shatner in a light-hearted look at how the “Star Trek” TV series has changed our world and influenced and inspired today’s technological innovation.

Everything from cell phones to iPads,  medical imaging to personal computers and cutting edge software can trace their origin to that landmark television series. 

And, Star Trek has also proven influential in inspiring today’s scientist to actually explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before by developing new advance spacecraft propulsion systems. 

 

How William Shatner Changed The World is available on DVD from Amazon.com.
