5. Replicators
One of the great promises of the Star Trek universe is a world without want, and the magical device that makes it possible is the replicator. The replicators that we have today, better known as 3-D printers, have a way to go before they achieve the effortless and simple results that Star Trek depicted. It’s important to remember that computers fifty years ago were a far cry from what Star Trek depicted, but today they easily exceed the show’s expectations. We’ll give the scientists the benefit of the doubt and come back in fifty years to see what progress has been made.
