144: Unconventional Tables

Holodeck Tools.

It's a Star Trek cliche in the 24th Century - the Holodeck breaks
down, threatening our favorite Starfleet crew members, and hijinx
ensue. However, the concept of the Holodeck means more than just
using it for off-hour recreational purposes. The use of
holographic technology changes the way the crew of the NCC-1701-D
approach their work and the way they view their lives. Darren,
Daniel, and Phillip dissect The Next Generation's use of the
Holodeck as a tool in the workplace.

The Federation flagship, like the modern office, must conduct
employee training - but instead of tedious PowerPoint
presentations, officers take tests in the Holodeck for promotion
("Thine Own Self"). Instead of researching documents on
LexisNexis, crewmembers can call up holographic recreations of
facilities and people who can directly give needed information
("Booby Trap"). Groups who need to reconstruct people's memories
or eyewitness accounts can congregate in the Holodeck to see if
they can create the same picture ("Schisms"/"A Matter of
Perspective"). Join Earl Grey as they outline the many
non-fantasy uses of the Holodeck.
