The documentary “How William Shatner Changed the World” is about how the movie Star Trek changed the world. The commissioner of the movie is the Discovery Channel Canada and co-produced for the History Channel, but hosted and narrated by William Shatner. Star Trek changed the world because of the technology in the movie. It made people want the technology to actually be invented.
Star Trek had a hand in how things are today, with the technology of cell phones, computer desktops, laptops, ipods, ipads, MP3 players and many more devices, from the watch of this one movie. Then the Star Trek:The Second Generation came out and brought even more advances. These movies brought change to everything that involved with technology.
Ed Roberts was an American engineer, medical doctor and an entrepreneur who invented the personal computer (PC) in 1975. He is known as the father of the PC. His first successful invention was an electronic calculator, but he first created this 8 inch disk device. After this happened Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak got an idea and created “Apple”. Also Bill Gates created “microsoft” and a software company.
The Cyberknife is a robotic system used for treating all kinds of tumors for example malignant tumors and other medical conditions. This system was invented by John R Alder. This cyberknife system is a method of radiotherapy to target treatment more accurately than their regularly radiotherapy.
I have learned a lot from this documentary “How William Shatner Changed the World” because I have never knew that the technology we have today is all pretty much from the 2005 film Star Trek.
