Nowadays, touch screens appear on everything from cell phones to smart refrigerators. Our modern e-book readers and Black. Berries were also foretold by the small computerized tablets that the Star Trek crew used for reading and storing data. And just as the Star Trek crew could always find its location when on missions to foreign planets by using scanners, we can now do this on Earth by using a GPS (Global Positioning System) device. Some of the medical technologies on Star Trek have also become reality. In the show, brain surgery was performed by attaching a gadget to someone's head, which healed internal injuries without cutting into the brain. There is now a similar procedure called gamma ray surgery, where a number of beams of gamma radiation are precisely focused at a single target-for example, a brain tumor. This dissolves and eliminates the diseased area. Since the procedure is non-invasive, there is little pain and much less chance for infection. Star Trek doctors also diagnosed patients using the versatile handheld tricorder scanners. (In fact, the Star Trek tricorder seemed to do everything, from checking a planet's atmosphere to diagnosing a broken engine!) Modern patients are scanned in essentially the same way, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CTscans, although the equipment is much larger than a handheld device. Even the crusty Dr. McCoy would be impressed. Another Star Trek technology that appears to be within reach is the universal communicator. A number of translators already are available on the Internet, and they do a fair (although far from perfect) job of translating written texts. But translating speech is much more difficult. People speak with a wide variety of dialects and accents, which current voice recognition systems simply cannot cope with. For the best results, the software must be trained to each speaker's individual voice. However, improvements gradually are being made, and it may be years rather than decades before sufficiently powerful voice recognition software makes simultaneous oral translations possible. With advances such as these, it is fair, exciting, and perhaps a bit frightening to ask, how far behind can Mr. Spock's telepathic "mind-meld" communication be?

متن زیر را بخوانید و به سوالاتی که در ادامه می‌ذاریم پاسخ بدید.
سطح متن: آپراینترمیدیت، پیشرفته
One of the most successful science fiction programs of all time is Star Trek. The original television series was first broadcast from 1966 to 1969. This sparked the "Trekkie" phenomenon, with a total of six television series and eleven movies as of 2009. A large part of Star Trek's ongoing popularity with science fiction fans is the futuristic gadgets found in the various episodes. Although transporters, time travel machines, and the like are not currently feasible, other equipment seems viable and may be developed during our lifetimes. Consider the advanced hologram technology on the ships' "holodecks," which allowed characters to create simulated realities. Scientists are working to develop similar technology today and Tele-immersion is one such application. Tele immersion will create a simulated virtual room that allows people to come together and interact without leaving their own physical location. In fact, many of the Star Trek technologies that seemed dubious or impossible only a few decades ago now are available for use in the real world. Probably the most notable of these gadgets was the handheld flip-open communicator, often used by Captain Kirk to summon help when he and his crew were in danger on some alien world. It allowed portable and lightweight communication wherever a person was. The appearance of this device started Martin Cooper and his team at Motorola thinking about how to develop a mobile phone. The first mobile phones were hardly convenient: They weighed 2.2 pounds, and the batteries allowed only thirty-five minutes of talk time. However, once the technology was introduced, it advanced and miniaturized until it was developed into the small cell phones we have today, which not only allow voice communications, but also allow access to all of the textual and graphic riches of the Internet. As a result, cell phones are now commonplace, with at least 85 percent of adults in the U.S. and the U.K. owning one. A number of other electronic devices from Star Trek are also now commonplace. Many of the Star Trek computerized gadgets featured touch screens, including the Starship Enterprise's controls.
