How William Shatner Changed The World

History Channel provides a remarkable special as part of their outer space week of programming, championing Star Trek (indirectly via Shatner) as being responsible with many, many common devices and innovations. Top inventors from JPL to Motorola speak of Trek episodes inspiring their young minds to produce the very things the crew of the Enterprise fictionally used.
Aside from the interesting history lessons, William Shatner hams it up as a tongue-in-cheek host and narrartor making it a pretty enjoyable affair. I don’t know anyone who isn’t at least amused by Shatner and/or technology, so I’ll make this a highly reccomended program.
Keep an eye out for a rerun
