Convenience and ease-of-use is what drives technology forward, as everyone is always looking for a faster, easier way to do things. The Star Trek Voice Operated Light Dimmer might not have such a creative name as the Clapper, but it does invoke nostalgia among Trekkies who remember how the sultry Majel Roddenberry’s voice sounded like as the computer. The light dimmer comes with speech recognition built-in, which means you can say “Computer, Low” to turn down the lights a notch or “Computer, Off” to blanket yourself in darkness. There is no need to pre-programme the $40 Star Trek Voice Operated Light Dimmer – just plug it into a standard wall outlet and you’re good to go.
