How William Shatner Changed the World
Has anybody watched this documentary? It's really quite good and charming. I'm sorry I missed the beginning. It documents the influence of Star Trek on the worlds of technology and medicine. Hosted by the titular Captain, and interspersed with quick cuts from STTOS and STNG. :D

It's on the History Channel right now, but I don't know if it will be repeated.

1. It was good
And Shatner was no where near as arrogant as the title would suggest.

4. You know, I shied away
from it at first for that very reason. But it's not like that at all. He's a very funny guy.

5. Me too!
They just showed the guy who invented the iPod because he watched Data ask the ship's computer to play several different pieces of music at the same time. He said it amused him that you could call up any song you wanted, at will.
