    The computer - Computers were in their infancy during the creation of the show. Now we have "super computers" that help us if we get lost, give us information, translations, drive our cars (basically), even recognize our voice.

    Communicators - While we don't have the ones used in The Next Generation does the cell phone look familiar? Much like the flip communicators from the Original Series, they can even hone in on you.

    Tricorders - Pocket PC and Palm Pilots store massive amounts of information at ones fingertips using modems as well. They can't scan things . . . yet.

    • I remember seeing a interview in which Leonard Nimoy mentions someone watching him talk on his cell phone and commenting about him using a communicator.
