Many of those are nowhere near the other item. Thermometer vs Tricorder? Nope.

We had VR in the 90's, in arcades. It just didn't take on then. Just like 3D movies existed since 1915. Cornelius van Drebbel built the first successful submarine in 1620. And that stupid stick on wheels is a hoverboard in name only. Buy a skateboard instead of ... that.

A hand-held medical diagnostic device

It seems like Star Trek not only entertained us, but helped scientists with ideas about technology. If you remember the diagnostic device on the show, you know how beneficial would be to have it today. While a similar device is being developed, we can take the infrared thermometer as a modern example of something that everyone has the chance to use at home today.
