“Beam Me Up Scotty”
By Steve Hill
My Daughter, Vicky, is in the final year of here university course, Digital Art and Technology, and as part of her dissertation on the “Wants and Needs of Mobile Phones” she is dealing with the history of mobile communication.
I was talking to her about this particular section and as we talked I mentioned how things had changed over a relatively few years and science fiction was now fact.
This conversation coincided with our viewing of the classic 80s movie Back To The Future - which ends up with Doc Brown returning from 2015 with a flying car and some sort of domestic nuclear power source on the back of his Delorean!
