Star Trek and The Biology of Technology

May 16, 2009 by Rick Howington Leave a Comment

I have been and shall always be a Star Trek fan.  There, I said it.  And while Trek tech is cool, it’s more about the biology than the technology that makes Star Trek soar.  The new Star Trek movie energizes my geek brain with all that cool gadgetry, but the heart of Trek is about relationships.  The real power and hope is that we not only see a possible future with technology … [Read more...] about Star Trek and The Biology of Technology
