Man none these make sense
You know remember the flip phones?
Well back in the days when star trek with captain Kirk started they hard their like thing they would speak into and say "beam me up scotty".
The entire reason the beam up thing started in star trek was because it was too expensive graphic-wise to have the entire spaceship land on a planet, it was too graphics intensive and therefore too expensive. So they just beamed people down and up and saved loads of money in the process.
Also, in the process, that's flip thingi they spoke into is what inspired the flip phone, without star trek there would be no flip phone.
