The Federation are basically space Amish that don't see their current technology as being advanced.
Starting in TNG, they literally fight technology incarnate to keep from losing their souls.
And who brought them to that fight? None other than a people with ultra-advanced technology who appeared to them as gods.
- effie 9y agoInteresting observation. My impression was different - they do not reject or fight technology itself - they just take it as common, uninteresting part of life, which makes sense if we assume that at their time, Federation technology got into highly evolved saturated state where it did not change much for decades. The real focus of TNG is on people, exploring the new places, human relations, prejudices, ethics, that kind of stuff. It is really about an optimistic vision of the future of the western society. The hi-tech environment greatest role was that it attracted geek viewers and made those difficult topics easier to get exposed to.
