Grins, actually so much of our current tech was inspired by Trek TOS (that's The Original Series for you non-Trekkies) it's ridiculous, removable storage media, voice address systems, automatic doors, cell phones and PDA's, etc. Now, it's not a piece of Trek Tech, but a lightsaber is actually a tractor beam, and a repulsor field contained in a single device. The glow is actually just a coronal discharge, the actual cutting field of such a device is almost microscopically small. The closest Trek Tech would be the Klingon Disruptor (which in the original Klingon translates to the shake-it-until-it-falls-apart-tool) Holodeck, as a part of a VR setup is being used currently in a primitive version (well primitive compared to Trek) by the Military in Tanker training, and a few other selected applications. And yes, the video in question (I believe you are talking about "The Wicked Lady" also featuring Faye Dunaway) does indeed have several topless shots of Marina Sirtis. She has a decent set, but personally I can't get all worked up over her. Anti matter, at least many components of it have been created and used for various things for sometime. (PET scans come readily to mind) Let us continue to Boldly go! Q'aplah! Shreve
