In 1978 the original Battlestar Galactica hit the airwaves and starred Lorne Green (from the tv western Bonanza and the spelling of his name is correct, Lorne) and was so futuristic. In some episodes you see someone talking to a computer and it actually has the dialogue appear on the screen. Sound familiar? I get emails from my brother and I know he is not typing the email because of the misspelling of my name and a few other things. And flip phones remind of the communicator that you see in the original Star Trek. I was a teenager when this hit the airwaves and little did I know 40+ years later that the technology we saw on these shows were going to be developed and made better for commercial use. Makes me wonder about the people who came up with these devices for these tv shows and did they get any credit for their inventions 40+ years later.
