The First 45 Years Of Star Trek [Infographic]

I feel almost childishly uneducated when it comes to Star Trek, and the culture that surrounds this quite amazing series of movies and TV shows. There is no doubt Star Trek has had a huge impact on society, and I think the cast members should feel proud that they have been a part of a world-changing concept that will only grow stronger with time. There are gadgets, technologies and styles all derived from Star Trek, and I am sure no one could disagree with me when I say that Star Trek has had as much of an impact on the world as Star Wars, if not more. It’s once again a question about which side you vote for. Some say Star Wars, while others say Star Trek, if you know what I mean.

It’s with fascination that I begin to read and look through this information packed Star Trek infographic which replays 45 years of pure sci-fi history. Karl Tate from Space.com put together this introduction guide for anyone who has not yet discovered the inspiring world of Star Trek, and with it, you will be able to begin your journey through space together with the members of the Enterprise.

I am quite amazed with the amount of curious information that is jammed into this infographic, and even though I just skimmed through it for the purpose of knowing what the hell I am writing about, I will spend my next 30 minutes learning every detail on it since I am sure I will be able to use it someday. Star Trek will only become more popular now that J.J. Abrams is planning the second installment of the reboot of the Star Trek movie series. I can’t wait to check it out! What’s your most memorable moment in Star Trek, and how did it potentially change your view of the world? Anyone?
