Speculations
Science Fiction, Science Reality - Treknologies in our midst
by Bill Snodgrass
On June 3, 1969 the last original episode of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek aired. Yet, reality took many years—decades, in truth—to catch up to his speculative vision of future technology. Many of these far forward thinking innovations—Treknologies—seen in the original series and the sequels that followed still, now thirty-six years later, remain on the cutting edge of society.
It goes without saying that Gene Roddenberry and the rest of the creators of Star Trek were forward thinkers. Why do I reprise this well-worn discussion? It is the Borg (ST-TNG). Not the "collective" mental consciousness, nor their penchant to destroy mankind. No, it is the incorporation of mechanical and electronic devices with the biological to which I refer.
Specifically, the Bluetooth earpieces for cell phones. You know you recognized those things! But I ... continued.

Recently lightning struck a tree in my neighborhood and split off a whole side of it. Everyday I walked past that tree with half of its branches flat on the ground beside it. The mass of branches was still attached to a sliver of trunk but was no longer connected to the living tree at all.
For the first day or so the leaves on the downed branches were as green as ever. It was a strange sight - this horizontal half-tree lying at the feet of a normal, vertical tree. The picture always caught my attention. It seemed important somehow... continued.
