Theta Sigma said:In the last two nights saw the two-part documentary series How Techies Changed the World on Discovery Channel on Australian pay-tv. This is about how Star Trek led to advances in technology such as the mobile phone and narrated by William Shatner. Just by reading the title you would not know that it was about Star Trek. Obviously the word "Techies" was meant to be a substitute for "Trekkies".
The cancellation of Enterprise gets a brief mention at the end as Bill Shatner that Star Trek on TV had moved too far from Gene Roddenberry's vision.
The two episodes of How Technies Changed the World will be shown back to back at 7:30pm on Sunday March 5.
Very interesting, I will have to remember to watch it. (Though I never did).
