Adjusted societies following the Borg’s footsteps

We discussed the ideas in Star Trek, and I did not have the time to watch all of it and then analyze so I goggled it (I know that is taboo to use Google in this class now) and learned about the Borg and their role in the movie. The Borg is trying to conquer all the species and then unite them by completely mixing their knowledge and technology together. This massive blend of society that would cause bland individuals is how Hans Jonas sees our society. He states that individuality has been absorbed into just the mass of society. It is troublesome that our society has similar features to that of the Borg. By forcing all of the species to be similar, the Borg are de-humanizing. This is also an ethical concern brought on by modern technology in our society. The complete assimilation of species would basically create robots that are almost identical to one another. I believe the Borg is used as symbols to the parts of our society that will one day cause our destruction.
