Gene Roddenberry foresaw the automatic sliding door, flip-phones, and hand-held computers. He believed in equal rights, VLDB's (the LCARS system), and a galaxy filled with exoplanets. Above all, he was able to present his (and others') ideas of the future in ways that inspired the public to bring them to life. In the vast emptiness of space (where no one can hear you scream), he showed that hope, determination, and respect of others can get you from alpha to delta and back again.
Some newer Star Trek type technologies making it to reality include: the medical tricorder; cloaking; cloning; the holodeck; instant translators (no Klingon yet though).
If I accomplish nothing else in my life, I hope to inspire those around me.
(I'm sure someone said this at some point in the history of men, though it may have been expressed as "ugh.")
