In this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation of a Man, Data and the crew explore the idea of what characteristics define and separate humans from robots. When the man comes and tries to take Data away, almost everybody opposes. Data is very similar to humans. He has the same emotions, actions, and he was even made to loook like a human. But, why would man make a robot in the image of themselves? I think it would stir up a bunch of contraversy . Would we give the robots the same rights as us? I hope we don't get to this point. It would fear me to see them taking over our job market when we hardly have any jobs to distribute for ourselves. If we do make a robot that has human-like emotions I think it would be the result of an experiment gone bad. Unlike all of the short stories that we read in class, this episode is kind of the opposite of what we would expect in a frankenstein complex story. In this episode, data is not feared by his crew mates; he is looked upon as a key member of the starship. I think one of the main messages of this episode was to have an open mind to the advancements we are making in the terms of technology. Overall, I liked watching Star Trek. I thought it was a very well thought out episode.
