When Science Fiction moves into the realm of Reality

Star Trek was one of my very favorite shows growing up.  I, along with myriads of other geeky teenager girls, had a bit of a Vulcan crush going with Mr. Spock. If you didn’t know, a Vulcan crush is where you TOTALLY “dig” someone, but you pretend to be all cool and stoic about it so that they never find out.  😁 In Mr, Spock’s case, meeting him at all was never a big issue, so I went on my merry way and worked on perfecting my Vulcan crush techniques. 

Longing for the days of video conferencing across light years, flip communicators that let the words “Beam me up, Scotty!” fly through the atmosphere, and taser guns has now morphed into something I never expected. As of 2021, I can no longer say I long for any more video conferencing anywhere  – on Earth or throughout the galaxy or beyond. Flip communicators are so “last decade” and tasers set to stun are something to be avoided. 

Science Fiction is steadily becoming reality. 

We aren’t yet hitting warp speed on a daily basis, although it may feel like it. If and/or when we beginning moving into the reality of “aliens” (who really aren’t) and hybrids (who aren’t what you think they are), reality will slam into what used to be considered Science Fiction and explode it into fast moving splinters. If you see that happen, DUCK! And check out Quantum Spacewalker: Jarl’s Journey for a more thorough explanation of the new reality.
