With Star Trek Into Darkness coming out on the heels of the announcement that there will be more Star Wars films, the comparison between the two sci fi properties is inevitable. Whose tech is better?

In terms of tech, Star Trek is probably more science fiction, whereas Star Wars is more mythology that happens to involve sophisticated machinery and technology. Case in point, despite the power of the force and advanced medicine, why did Luke Skywalker and Anakin Skywalker have to have artificial, robotic hands. Where is the 3D printing, cloning or growing a new hand? The reason is probably because it adds to the legend and renown of the two characters. Being made hole would not add to the theater and drama of the story.

Also, in terms of propulsion, Star Trek uses worm holes and warping. Star Wars breaks the speed of light (impossible).

A. Neither. I use iOS, Windows, Blackberry or other.

B. Chrome. It just works.

C. Android. I can have the Chrome browser on it (why choose?)

D. What is the difference?

Whether or not you like either product, they are certainly different products that offer value propositions to a variety of consumers. Maybe they do not need the integrated hardware and software experience Apple offers. Perhaps, they do not need legacy support for documents or gaming capabilities from a Windows PC.

If you like one or the other, or both, tell us. If you feel you don’t need one but prefer the other, again let us know.
