Who would have ever thought that you would be able to essentially turn your home into your own Starfleet vessel, issuing commands as if you were Captain Kirk.
Everyone now has the ability to have access to their own personal Spock, albeit named Alexa, Siri or Google.
Even something as common as a smartphone now includes a fingerprint scanner that can be used to unlock the device or sign into apps.
