Star Trek's writing team was backed up by a kind of geek department. Its job was to sensibly speculate -- as Paul obviously did -- on potential realities. There was not only the forerunner of the cell phone, which even foresaw (influenced?) its design, but the taser (phazer) and several other devices. Like an exceptionally smart and intelligent fortune teller, it's not too surprising the that the realistic SF writer will occasionally be spot on with forecasts. Good on Paul. Karma to ya. Cheers.
