At TeenAge Magazine, written by and for teens, editor Bill Snodgrass comments on the visionary nature of science fiction in the article Science Fiction, Science Reality - Treknologies in our midst - 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.

Just for protection, she yanked the sword off her mantelpiece -- wow, was it heavy! But that was all right. It wasn't like she'd be using it...until she ran into the poor guy being attacked!
