Even in the imagined future phones, tools, lights and etc...were separate devices. Nimoy and other actors and TV series were certainly partially responsible for the technology we talk about here on a daily basis.
The Motorola Star Tac release in 1996 was inspired some engineers say by the TV show and NASA. So beam me up!
Ha, I had a communicator overlay app with beep sounds on my phone for a while.
Wonder if Big Bang Theory will have some type of mention or tribute to Mr. Nimoy.
LOL. My ex husband had the Star tac phone, but we always called it the Star Trek phone, because of my fondness for all things Trek.
Deb Sheldon probably will. They may make a whole episode with Easter eggs.

I Just watched the March 5th episode, the usualy vanity card was replaced with his photo and caption.....
