After watching a 45-year-old Star Trek episode, I think we can definately relate it to our time period now. Some objects and technology that were presented in the episode are very well existant in our world today or they are beginning to grow in existance. Although, I don't think I could say that our modern technology was primarily based off of the ideas Gene Rodenberry displayed. However, I would agree that Rodenberry's ideas were influenced and created based on the existing technology in 1965. Evidence from the Star Trek episode helped me reach these agreeing and disagreeing conclusions.
In 1965 Star Trek was a very futuristic show. Watching the episode now, our generation would still see it as being futuristic but with some technological ideas presented by Rodenberry we would relate finding ghem to be normal. For instance, the big flat screen T.V.'s in there spaceship. At first they appeared completely normal to because we're used to seeing them today. I don't believe taht scientists got their modern technology ideas from watching Star Trek though. Not every scientist watched Star Trek and used it as a reference or base for there ideas. Rodenberry though could only of had his creative ideas of technology influenced by his imagination and the technology of 1965.
Watching Star Trek really showed how advanced technology has become. It also showed how much we can relate to a futuristic idea of 1965 now be a reality 45 down the road. Star Trek didn't necessarily enforce or enflict the inventions of scientists today. I still haven't came across a rainbow light that makes you freeze yet.
