How closely do you feel Star Trek relates to reality on a technical basis?
we are approaching this time (except for the spaceships and so on)
partly - partly. a lot of fiction, which, for example, was attempted to be implemented in star trek voyager with the help of scientists and "theoretical foresight," to see how it might really be in the future. it has been proven that the first flip phone was developed by a designer who was a star trek fan and was inspired by the "communicators" of the original series. but overall, i think that star trek technology deviates moderately to strongly from our reality or will deviate.
