We basically have a lot of highly advanced technologies already. I don't think it'll be long until our lives look like Star Trek.

This disappoints me so much because it's just a toy, when we have the technology to make a scanning device that is basically a real one (not as magically good, though). I've seen phone addons for scientific research that can scan things for various things. Like a glucose monitor, Geiger counter, barometer, light sensor, blood pressure monitor, and more; with no reason why a single device couldn't have all of these things in one other than maybe cost.
I'm gonna take this to ren faire and whip it out when I'm just barely out of line of sight
I mean, cool.
It's just that my early 21st century cellphone has more sensors than this 24th century device... 💁♂️
And your cellphone even costs less. (unless you've bought a flagship phone)
Wake me up when it's functional
Still doesn't do medical scans
Would we have the technical know-how for that?
When you come wake me up when we have it? Yes.
