[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 182081, member: 175144"] The replicator predates Star Trek by a good decade, as it was one of Robbie the Robots main functions in The Forbidden Planet (1956), and the idea of turning stuff into gold has been around for centuries. The modification of nuclear particles is the method by which all atoms heavier than iron are produced in the (known) universe. Roddenberry has I believe, given credit where its due as the storyline of the film as being inspriration for the food dispenser system in the original series. Raw materials modified at molecular level and combined to provide a finished product ? Not too far fetched IMO. I would give it 20 years for the first ones to appear in the construction industry.
