Why Life Will NOT Be Like Star Trek

Also another hilarious website.

Life will NOT be like Star Trek

This is an article by the guy who wrote the “Dilbert” comic. I laughed the entire time I was reading this. I think the funniest thing about this article is it’s TRUE! That’s exactly how people would respond to those technologies!

This also provides a nice reminder to science fiction writers to remember to extrapolate with your new inventions. Don’t assume that people will use these inventions exactly as they are intended.

Have a happy Friday guys! Back to the revision trenches for me!
