Since 1966, Star Trek fans have turned on the TV and seen a portal to the future. This vision of a better life for all people, not just men, or white men, but all people, has given us hope that things could be better. Through it we have seen that not only can we make great strides technologically, but also personally. Star Trek has also set a scientific goal. Can we discover some of the technologies we've seen on TV? In the Original Series, the technology to make handheld communication devices had not yet been invented. And now, mobile phones that flip open are fairly commonplace. How long until we can call our friends on a little badge pinned to our clothes? At this rate of technological advancement, not long. But now we come to the point of my little speech. Today, the number of fans is huge. The problem is, many are adults. Being a teenager myself, I've noticed that very few of my friends even know that fans don't say "May the force be with you" and that no one ever really said "Beam me up, Scotty" on any of the episodes or movies. I am concerned. I am concerned that in future years, the number of fans will slowly deteriorate. I am worried that we will begin to lose the vison of the future that only Star Trek can provide, as Science Fiction becomes more widely considered "nerdy", and those "nerds" turn to more recent TV shows. It's up to us to introduce the non-trekkers to Star Trek, so that once more our society can hold on to the dream of a better tomorrow.
