Star Trek and the Ultimate Computer

Ihde repeatedly says that people see technology in two ways: they want the convenience technology provides, but they are afraid that technology might start to control them. This contrast is evident in the Star Trek episode. Daystrom has good intentions in building M5, allowing ships to run fairly autonomous, resulting in less people being in danger. Kirk worried that he would lose his job to the "ultimate computer". The computer ends up taking over the Enterprise, realizing many people's fears.

Unrelated, I found a funny Star Trek picture.
