The starship remembers me of the good old days of the internet – and better times in my life.
As the internet was a space of discussion rather than a saling plattform.
Don't get me wrong. The development has been clear even then and it was, in the hindsight, inevitable. The machines, the infrastructure and all this, it costs real money and therfor, it most earn some money somehow.
This is one of the great points of criticism of Star-Trek. The idea about economy is just naive and unapologetic unrealistic. It may be imaginable that, once, human socienty reach a post-scarcity point in the development of the civilization as a whole, yet it is just impossible in the way Star-Trek depict it. It smells too much like the economic illiteracy that the writers have. Money cames in from the showbiz, who needs to know more than that?
The other association I have with Star-Trek are, for whatever reasons, old computers. Atary, Amiga, even the old MSDOS shitboxes.
