The following text is copied directly from the wiki-source for the Star Trek article, as it stood on Dec 15, 2006. I copied it here for the purposes of exploring and debuging some strange behavior I noticed in that article with the reference numbers.

The Star Trek franchise is believed to have motivated the design of many current technologies, including the Tablet PC, the PDA, and mobile phones.[1] It has also brought to popular attention the concept of teleportation with its classic depiction of "matter-energy transport". Phrases such as "Beam me up, Scotty" have entered the public vernacular.[2] In 1976, following a letter-writing campaign, NASA named its first space shuttle, Enterprise, after the fictional starship.[3]
