Star Trek

I would like to first say that I HATE Star Trek!! So Data, what is his role? I know that he saved the captain and then the captain went back to save him. I also know that the Borg's were trying to convert him to be like them? Right? I don't understand the point of him having partial skin of theirs on him and not his whole body... Really though, that whole situation confused me. Data began to have human feelings, how? The skin? What was her benefit of him having human feelings?
Also, the Borg's are extremely stupid. LEARN HOW TO FIGHT!! If they are able to adapt, they should be able to learn how to fight.
In addition to my little rant of confusion and anger, I noticed that the girls are never the fighters. They are always the backup. For example, when they were back on Earth. She didn't go in the space ship with the boys, she was left back. Why?! Then there was a part where she was drunk, left vulnerable. Also, Lily, whom seems really smart was never really in the battle. In the beginning she was the one hurt. Then she was the girl running away always screaming, etc. I could keep going on.
All the men seem to be extremely strong and in charge, the girls are always vulnerable.

Technology

In class, we talked about technology, which was very interesting. I wanted to write this blog about some of the topics that we had discussed.
One of them being, what would our ancestors think if they saw how we lived today? Well, what I think is that they would be pretty proud of how we are turning out. The reason I think this is because they had inventions back then too. Want to know the connection? Here it is, without inventions, we won't have inventions. Back in the day, they had an old phone that was probably the size of our computer now. As it evolves, it becomes more useful. Thus, what I believe is what they wanted.
I also think that we will never become reliable on technology. Technology makes life easier but no reliable. For example, I can't rely on my macbook to not die while I type this, poor example but I hope you understand.
In addition, I think that we will ALWAYS have a balance. Like I said in class, as much as I want to be GO TECHNOLOGY and YAY CELL PHONE some others may think different. "What about the animals? The wilderness? The OZONE!!!". With this balance, we will never be overpowered. We will always have the heads up on everything.
Side note, without technology there will be no way of living as long as we do now.
I personally will never say technology is a bad thing, nor will I ever go against it.
What do you think? Do you think technology will soon take over the world? Or will we always be ahead?
